Victorian Postcard — Two Girls in White Bonnets, Little Maid Marjory

Two girls in matching white bonnets stand close in a softly lit bedroom, one lifting a small child onto her shoulder while a little dog dozes undisturbed on the bed behind them. Helen Jackson's ‘Little Maid Marjory’ is a gentle domestic scene, all sashes and needlework and afternoon quiet.

Well suited to a letter marking a christening or a new little sister, or to anyone building a shelf of Victorian nursery illustration.
