A delightful vintage illustration of two figures with decorative umbrellas from Mary Audubon Post's 'My Little Chinese Book' (1912). The bold red and white palette and simple design make this a charming addition to any room.

This charming illustration, titled 'Oriental Umbrellas', comes from 'My Little Chinese Book' by Mary Audubon Post, published in 1912. Post, an American artist born in 1875, brings a delightful simplicity to her depiction of two figures in traditional Chinese dress, each holding a decorative umbrella. The artwork is rendered in a striking palette of red and white, with bold outlines and flat colour fields that evoke the aesthetic of vintage children's book illustrations. The umbrellas themselves are adorned with various motifs, including stylised flowers and geometric patterns, adding a layer of visual interest to the composition. The figures are depicted from the rear, their faces obscured by the umbrellas, which invites the viewer to focus on the overall design and the interplay of shapes and colours. This print would make a wonderful addition to any room, bringing a touch of whimsy and historical charm to your home. Its clean lines and bold colours make it particularly well-suited for a child's room or a study, where it can serve as a conversation starter and a reminder of the beauty of simple, well-executed design.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.
