A bit of Sunday afternoon drama here at GG Central. Giulia was informed this afternoon that she'll not be making a trip to the beach after all; the drive would be too hard on her. (GG has asthma.) Is she grateful for this concern on her behalf? She is not, no. Oh well. A little Sunday illustration by one of our favorites, Walter Crane. You can read about GG editorial staff, um, sartorial challenges for the trip, here.
By the way...this image is by one of our favorite illustrators, Walter Crane, & is in the public domain. The original is at the Bibliotheque Des Arts Decoratifs Paris. We have noticed many bloggers trying to copyright the image (one can copyright a product made with the image, yes). This is somewhat amusing as Walter Crane was a, gasp, Socialist who wrote & illustrated books in the belief that they should be affordable to the masses. What would he think? We're pretty sure that he would say poppycock to this cheekiness. So do we.
