Vintage Dorothy Muriel Wheeler Illustration
This charming print is a delightful example of work by Dorothy Muriel Wheeler, a celebrated illustrator known for her whimsical and colourful depictions of nursery rhymes and children’s stories. The print depicts a scene from the classic rhyme “Hey Diddle Diddle”, featuring a cat playing the fiddle, a cow jumping over the moon, and a dog laughing. The style is characteristic of the early to mid-20th century, with a focus on bright colours and playful characterisation.
