Playing in The Snow

vintage drawing of a child playing in the snow With spring just around the corner, I thought it would be fun for a reminder of those days when we loved winter and playing in the snow and in some ways were disappointed when the weather turned warmer.

This image has been on Reusable Art for some time but it continues to be one of my favorites.

The larger (266px X 200px) version of this image is available for free downloading on Reusable Art. Just follow the link to Playing In The Snow - Image 2.

This vintage drawing and so very many of the other charming drawings of children on Reusable Art was created by the talented children's artist Ida Waugh. Her work has a recognizable charm and whimsy to it that seems rather surprising considering that she never had children of her own. If you want to see some of her other children's book illustrations, just visit Reusable Art and type 'Waugh' into the search box.

This image was included in the book Mammy's Baby which was published in 1890. To find other charming illustrations from this book, visit Reusable Art and type 'Mammy' into the search box.
