Lesson Time, Circa 1900

Framed (ref: 11324)

Chromolithographic print

Original design nursery posters for Liberty & Co

Dimensions include original ebonised frames

Tags: John Hassall



Provenance: The artist's nephew, David Cuppleditch until c.1999; Private Collection.


A rarely seen pair of nursery chromolithographs by John Hassall (1868-

1948); entitled “Lesson Time” & “Bed Time”, c1900, in their original ebonised frames.

 

In 1898, Hassall designed a series of nursery posters and friezes for Liberty & Co, as did

Cecil Aldin. Items such as these rarely survive, as they were originally designed to be

applied onto the nursery walls directly. Examples of Hassall’s (and indeed those of Cecil

Aldin) nursery friezes are held at the Museum of Domestic Design & Architecture (MODA) in

Barnet, Hertfordshire, England
