Elephant’s Picture Book is continuing to find old-time magical pictures. I hope you like Jack Frost. Warmly, Brenda
Jack Frost
Elfin pictures on the pane
Mean Jack Frost has come again;
Lace and ferns and vines and flowers,
Snow-capped peaks and fairy bowers.
.
Castles gleaming opalescent,
Rivers flowing iridescent;
Jewels set in filigree,
All in crystal fantasy.
.
A Year With the Fairies.
Written by Anna M. Scott.
Illustrations by M. T. (Penny) Ross.
P. F. Volland & Co.: Chicago, U.S.A. 1914.

He is terrific, I love this early 1900s vision of him, so not Disney!

This is so lovely, too bad there isn’t a date or period attached. I love finding out the history of the pictures one finds on the internet and in books, too! Lovely reblog, Brenda!
