This vintage storybook illustration, titled Poor Dolly’s Tired, features a young girl tucking her tired dolly in to bed. The doll has a nice wicker cradle and a soft beige blanket.
The image is from a storybook titled The Sunbeams and Me, by Helen Marion Burnside & Nesbit, Mary Dickens, M. A. Hoyer, and others, illustrated by Helen Jackson, Jane Willis Grey, Fanny Bowers, and others. The book was published by Raphael Tuck & Sons in the late 1800s.

Thank you for all the pictures you have sent me. I find this one fascinating . Such a winsome image that will go really well with my projects. The Victorian era was so romantic with the flourishes and swirls and sweet little children
You’re welcome Susan. It’s very nice to know that you’re enjoying the images!
