Children's bedtime, drawn in 1882 by a very young child living in England.
Pencil drawing by a Victorian child in the family circle of May Chatteris Fisher (1874-1910), who became a professional artist when she grew up. This drawing is from a six-panel 'cartoon strip' illustrating a child's day. It is possibly by one of May's sisters: Margaret (known as Daisy) born in 1873, or Helen (known as Nellie), born in 1875. The drawing is not signed, but it was found amongst other drawings and paintings signed by May as a child, drawn on the back of a folded London invoice dated 19 December 1882. We have assumed from the style of the drawing that the artist was probably no more than 5 or 6 years old at the time. In 1904, May married the established landscape painter, William Smallwood Winder (1869 – 1910), and subsequently signed her work MC Winder.
