Hiding in the Garden - Jessie Willcox Smith Greeting Card

BLANK INSIDE

Nestled among the charming blooms of Gardener's garters, Shepherd's purses, Bachelor's buttons, Lady's smocks, and Lady Hollyhocks, a delightful girl comes to life within the pages of The Flowers from Robert Louis Stevenson's A Child's Garden of Verses. Jessie Willcox Smith exquisitely illustrated this enchanting scene in the timeless 1905 edition, adding visual magic to Stevenson's beloved collection of classic poems. See this image as an art print!

Jessie Willcox Smith (1863-1935), a cherished name at Laughing Elephant, wields a remarkable artistic legacy. Mentored by Howard Pyle, an illustrious influence, she emerged as a formidable woman artist in the Golden Age of Illustration, defying norms in a male-dominated realm—she was among the highest-paid illustrators of her time! Beyond the canvas, she left her mark on nearly 200 Good Housekeeping magazine covers while gracing classic children's books and creating artistic ads for iconic brands like Ivory Soap and Kodak. Sensitivity to the human experience and idealized images such as motherhood and childhood archetypes defined her work.
