The story behind the motif
Poster featuring a beautiful illustration from Elsa Beskow's children's book "Blomsterfesten i täppan", first published in 1914.
The image depicts an imaginative scene of flower children and nature beings. The figures are dressed as different flowers and plants with petals, and they walk together in a fairytale-like procession.
Blomsterfesten i täppan tells the story of a little boy who slips out into the garden and gets to join in when the flowers and the garden's small beings come to life and arrange a celebration. It becomes a colourful floral procession and a solemn flower festival where everyone has their place and role. The story is like a fairytale tribute to summer and nature, seen through a child's eyes.
Elsa Beskow (1874–1953) was a Swedish author and illustrator who became one of the country's most influential picture-book creators. Beskow was known for her warm depictions of children, home life, and nature. She often illustrated her own texts, and her visual world is strongly connected to everyday settings and romantic naturalism. See all our art prints by Elsa Beskow here.
