Alan Horne notes that Atwell's "pictures of chubby, winsome children enjoyed a tremendous vogue in magazines and books for the young; and her annuals, cards, posters, bathroom plaques and all sorts of ephemeral items continued to be incredibly popular through the thirties and into the forties" (Horne, p. 79). Original drawing (348 x 248 mm) on paper (360 x 260 mm), laid down on board, ink and watercolour, signed ("Mabel Lucie Attwell") lower left, mounted, framed, and glazed (framed size 547 x 440 mm).
