Little Girl with Daisies: Free Vintage Photo

Here's a pretty little summertime beauty, crowned with daisy flowers.  I should do more of these Victorian children's photographs and postcards, as they are so popular.  Most of what I have scanned are little girls, but I have a box full of postcards of men and boys that I need to work on.

Victorian painting mother and child eating cherries

I've always particularly liked this Victorian painting of mother and daughter by Leighton.  The pose, the soft colors, the intimacy, even the folds of fabric are so lovely.  I could have saved it for Mother's Day, but what made me think of it today was ripe cherries in the grocery store!  There are also lilies in my yard (like in the picture except mine are yellow), so all in all it's a summer image to me.

Barefoot Little Girl

Another little barefoot girl for summertime, by Bouguereau.

Happy weekend!

Beautiful Victorian Edwardian Girl Photo

I know I can't ever go wrong with another photograph of a beautiful little girl.  I love the flowers in her hair, and I couldn't resist adding a little soft tint.  This young model appears on quite a few of the old Paris photo postcards in my collection.  I wish I knew her name.

Little Girl Vintage French Postcard

For today, another antique French postcard.  This one I think was mailed from French Algiers.  I left the postage mark and the little green French stamp.  Sometimes I like them left on.  Such a cute little Victorian girl, daydreaming away.  Maybe the foreign postmark on this picture feels right because her thoughts seem far away.
