Charming Antique Illustration for children. Peek-a-Boo sets out for the beach with bucket and spade, in a cart pulled by a goat.

Chloe Preston colour printed lithograph for "The Peek-a-Boo's Holiday", written by her brother Tom and published in London circa 1912. Chloe Preston was born in 1887 and grew up within a gentrified English country environment. Illustrations for her first book,"The Peek-a-Boo's", were published in London in 1910.  The clear simple outlines and bright colours of her humorous graphics portray simple excursions and activities. They are popular choices for babies whose eyesight develops from outlines of vision, but because of their individual charm, they remain favourites with children and adults alike.
