The Story of Elizabeth (titlepage design) 1862 - 1872

This title-page design for the book *The Story of Elizabeth* was created by Frederick Walker, a prominent English artist of the 19th century, between 1862 and 1872. The artwork depicts a young woman in a flowing dress, holding a basket of flowers, standing in a garden. The detail in the woman's clothing and the natural surroundings is characteristic of Walker's meticulous style, which often depicted scenes of rural life and beauty. The artwork is a fine example of Victorian illustration and currently resides in the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
