The story behind the motif
Poster featuring a beautiful illustration from Elsa Beskow's children's book "The Flower Festival in the Garden", 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 fairy-tale procession.
The Flower Festival in the Garden tells the story of a little boy who sneaks out into the garden and gets to join in as the flowers and the garden's small beings come to life and arrange a celebration. It becomes a colorful flower procession and a solemn flower festival where everyone has their place and role. The story is like a fairy-tale tribute to summer and nature, seen through the eyes of a child.
Elsa Beskow (1874–1953) was a Swedish author and illustrator who became one of the country's most influential creators of picture books. Beskow was known for her warm depictions of children, home life, and nature. She often illustrated her own texts, and her visual world has strong ties to everyday settings and romantic naturalism.
