Molly Brett (1902 - 1990) - Vintage Children's Art Print, framed behind Glass

Molly Brett (1902 - 1990)- Vintage Children Art Print, framed behind Glass

This print measures 59 x 50cm and is framed behind glass. A couple of spots on the outer edges where it appears there is some paper chafing and the print has worn off a bit, but in my opinion adds to the character and is in keeping with the item's age. Fabulous art for your child's room or elsewhere in your home!

From the Internet (Wikipedia);

Molly (Mary Elizabeth) Brett grew up in Surrey, Great Britain, surrounded by animals and nature. Her mother, Mary Gould Brett, was a respected animal painter who encouraged her daughter to paint from life, and this is reflected in Molly's gift for making her animals look thoroughly naturalistic while giving them human characteristics and activities. And like Beatrix Potter, her artwork also reflects her great observational powers in depicting nature, especially notable in the two illustrations above.

She began her career by illustrating "weekly papers" for children. One of her earliest commissions was to illustrate stories by Enid Blyton. Inspired by this, she went on to write and illustrate 21 books of her own for the Medici Society of London, with whom she was associated for sixty years. Medici has published over 500 of her paintings as postcards, greeting cards and prints.

Molly Brett's work has enchanted generations of children with its beautifully drawn details, subtle colours and magical atmosphere. Her work follows in the tradition of other twentieth-century "dressed animal" illustrators such as Beatrix Potter, Margaret Tempest, Racey Helps, and others.
