Victorian Postcard — Girl Lying in the Grass Under a Tree, Daydreaming

A golden-haired girl sprawls contentedly in deep summer meadow grass, one arm flung skyward, daisies tucked into the folds of her yellow dress as she gazes dreamily up through the branches of a shading tree. Sunlight and stillness fill this quiet corner of the 19th-century chromolithograph tradition.

A pick for a lazy-summer note, or for anyone building a collection of Victorian pastoral scenes.
