Peek-a-Boo Going on a Picnic. Chloe Preston lithograph c1912

by Preston, Chloe

Peek-a-Boo in a donkey cart go picnicking.

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 in 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 images portray simple excursions and activities.

They are a popular choice for babies whose eyesight develops from outlines of vision; but because of their individual charm, they remain favourites with children and adults alike.
