1880's Pretty Advertisement Tags

And Spring arose on
the garden fair, like the
Spirit of Love felt everywhere.
and each flower and herb on
Earth's dark breast rose from
the dreams of its wintry rest.

~ Percy Bysshe Shelley ~




These Victorian illustrations inspired
me to create within minutes of finding
them. The little girl illustration didn't
have any typography, so in keeping with
the clothing theme, I added part of an
advertisement for spool cotton.

Here are the sources & free
graphics used in my artwork:
