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 scenes from everyday life. On the left, a boy can be seen alone rowing a small boat over calm water. On the right, the same boy is standing in a country store, buying goods. The image depicts both responsibility and independence in a child's life.
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.
