Humpty Dumpty in Costume Canvas Print

In 1907, this would have felt radical. It still does. A storybook Humpty Dumpty in fancy dress, cocky and full of himself against a warm brown ground. It gives a nursery or kids’ room a proper sense of story the kind of piece a child grows up asking questions about. Hang it above a chest of drawers, a changing table or a low reading chair, at a child’s eye level rather than adult height. Pair with soft cottons, striped bedding, painted pine, rattan baskets and other Wonderland or vintage storybook pieces. Avoid slick, sleek modern furniture and cool grey walls the warmth of the background wants painted or off-white walls to breathe against.
