Curator Primes wishes you the best of health and happiness for this holiday season and hopes you have a few minutes to enjoy coloring a cupcake each day.

Hereby presenting an excerpt from A Maryland Manor (1901) by Frederic Emory. It tells the story of today’s Free Friday Vintage Coloring Page which is book poster based on the frontspiece by West Clinedinst.
“When Lydia appeared in the doorway, the smokers, tilted back comfortably in large, rush-bottomed chairs, were well advanced in enjoyment of the weed. Each had a clay pipe with a long reed stem, and the atmosphere was thick with smoke from fragrant tobacco grown on the estate. Lydia waited, mischievously, for the anathema Uncle Josias would be swift to pronounce, but the old fellow merely grunted and gave a longer pull at his pipe.”

Today marks the release of the third Vintage Coloring adult coloring book, The Art of Clara E. Atwood, Volume 1. This adult coloring book features illustrations from the collection, A Book of Nursery Rhymes.
[And There Was Much Rejoicing (yaaaaaaaay!)]
You may purchase the adult coloring book on Amazon and all of the pages within are revealed here on our website.
If you’d like to try out Clara’s illustration style, you can download a free coloring page from our Free Coloring Page Friday collection.
Filled with children and parents and old women with pigs and flying geese, Clara’s endearing artwork represents childhood with elegant lines and often minimal backgrounds.
There are 20 unique full, page designs and 20 postcards-sided (4″ x 6″) images of close-ups from those original illustrations. Every page is single sided and the 60 lb. paper is excellent for colored pencils. There are also several blank pages at the end of the book so you may try out the coloring implement of your choice and practice coloring combinations.
Vintage Coloring will be releasing an adult coloring book once a month showcasing various artists from the late nineteenth century through the early twentieth century. We look forward to sharing this beautiful bygone art with you.
