Little Totty, and other nursery tales
Little Totty, and other nursery tales is a chromolithographed children's story collection published by Frederick Warne and Co, dated 1859, with coloured plates intended for young readers. The four plates show fairy-tale style scenes: a seated girl attended by companions, a barefoot old woman talking with a woman in a pointed cap, a girl in a pink gown kneeling by a wall to smell a flower, and a seesaw played on a fence beside a haystack. Designers can draw on the flat, saturated palette, simple folk costumes, and rustic cottage-garden settings for period-styled illustration.
