The story behind the motif
Poster with a beautiful illustration from Elsa Beskow's children's book "Pelle's New Clothes" which was first published in 1907.
The picture shows two young boys who are out in the countryside, surrounded by trees and a fence. One boy is standing by a sheep while the other boy is sitting on the ground hugging a lamb. The boys are dressed in country clothes where the children are in close contact with the animals.
Pelle's new clothes is a classic children's book about Pelle, a little boy who dreams of getting new clothes and goes through a learning experience.
Elsa Beskow (1874–1953) was a Swedish writer and illustrator who became one of the country's most influential picture book creators. Beskow was known for his warm depictions of children, home and nature. She often illustrated her own texts and her visual world has a strong connection to everyday environments and romantic nature.
