Fun & Play, Childhood Days

Archive artistic images of Childhood Days shows children at home and outside, at school and on holiday, playing games and having fun in an age of innocence now largely lost. Many of the pictures are by well known artists of the first half of the 19th century, such as Millicent Sowerby, Margaret Tarrant, Agnes Richardson, Phyllis Cooper and Susan Beatrice Pearce but there is also some delightful art by less well known or anonymous names.
