A Little Boy Lost 1920

Dorothy Lathrop's 1920 illustration, "A Little Boy Lost," is a striking example of black and white line art. The image depicts a young boy, his body rendered in stark white, kneeling amongst swirling foliage. Lushly detailed plants and strange, almost alien, flora are drawn in a detailed, almost Art Nouveau style, creating a sense of both beauty and mystery. Lathrop's work is notable for its evocative and often whimsical depictions of children in nature, making this image a charming yet slightly unsettling piece.
