Book Illustration of a Robin & Wren

Full color book illustration of a robin and a wren meeting in a tree. The robin, with his red breast, stands above the other bird and both are sitting among the leaves at the top of the tree. This large, vintage, full-color book plate robin image is in the public domain and would make a great drawing for a greeting card or other arts and crafts project.

When author Laura Valentine (d. 1899) and her publisher Frederick Warne and Co. began selling Aunt Louisa’s Welcome Visitor in the 1870s, I bet they never would have thought that 140 years later people would still be enjoying their work.
