Aquarelle et écriture manuscrite sur le devant d'une carte de Noël fabriquée en Angleterre vers 1880 par un enfant victorien, May Chatteris Fisher (1874 - 1910). Un garçon dans un costume de marin et une fille dans une robe rouge jouent le jeu traditionnel de deviner quelle main choisir. Une jeune fille, debout à côté d'eux, tient une poupée. Au-dessus des enfants se trouve le texte manuscrit commençant par 'Dieu est amour'. Sous les enfants, dans le coin inférieur droit, se trouvent les mots 'Un joyeux Noël'.

Watercolour and handwriting for the front of a Christmas card, created as a child by May Chatteris Fisher (1874-1910), who became a professional artist when she grew up. The card is inscribed on the back 'With May's love to Grandma' and was probably made for May's maternal grandmother, Elizabeth Chatteris (1828-1905), who lived at the family home. We have assumed from the style of the picture that the artist was probably no more than 6 or 7 years old at the time. This means that the drawing probably dates from circa 1880. May was born near Manchester in north west England, the second of three sisters. As an adult, and after studying at the Manchester Municipal School of Art, she became an accomplished book illustrator and bookplate designer. In 1901 and 1904, she illustrated two books of children’s fairy tales for the publishers Sherratt & Hughes: ‘Ignoramus’ by E. Todd and ‘Pixie’ by Frances Reddaway. In 1902, her works were praised in a survey, published in New York, of female bookplate designers on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1904, May married the established landscape painter, William Smallwood Winder (1869-1910), and subsequently signed her work MC Winder. D1160.B3852
