Stock block: Child kneeling in a circular vignette more
children, innocence, flowers, butterflies, nudity, bare feet, boys, circular, stock blocks
This Victorian engraving shows a boy (probably) kneeling within a circular border; he holds a boquet of flowers in one hand as he gazes at a butterly perched on his other hand. There’s a circle of flowers in his hair and another butterfly behind him.
This picture was originally sold as a “stock block” or “stock cut”—that is, a form of clip art in which metal printing-blocks were sold by catalogues to printers.
