petitpoulailler: Edmund Dulac for the 1911 edition of Stories from Hans Anderson, “The Real Princess”“I have hardly closed my eyes the whole night! Heaven knows what was in the bed. I seemed to by lying upon some hard thing, and my whole body is black and blue this morning. It is terrible!” I cherish this photo, a childhood memory firmly embedded, [ :-) ] in part because of my father’s disdain for the idea of the ‘princess’.  Instead, he called me “Little Queenie”…and this photograph tags along with that term of endearment.
