Believed titled "A Girl Picking Primroses with Her Mother," artist-signed lower left, printed "April" in decorative lettering at the base. This chromolithograph reproduces Hines's watercolor in full color on heavy card stock, the artist's signature clearly visible. This is a genuine vintage calendar page from the 1930s, not a modern reprint. One available.
Framing is strongly recommended to preserve it — a wonderful piece for a Fred Hines collector, a lover of Victorian and Edwardian watercolor illustration, a cottagecore interior, or anyone who wants genuine antique botanical and figurative art on their wall.
Fred Hines was a British watercolorist and illustrator working in the late Victorian and Edwardian tradition, known for his tender, luminous scenes of women and children in gardens and countryside settings. His work was reproduced for calendars and decorative prints during his lifetime and represents the finest expression of the genre — quiet, warm, beautifully observed.
Pairs beautifully with our matching June calendar page by Fred Hines (U2104) for a seasonal display.
