The earliest published work of the Scottish artist Eleanor Vere Boyle (1825-1916) known for her pre-Raphaelite-influenced illustrations for children's books. Idealized children, often in mysterious natural surroundings with meticulously rendered plants and animals, predominate in her illustrations, most of which, from the 1860s, were reproduced photographically and subsequently rendered in colour.
