The story behind the motif
Poster with a beautiful illustration "The days of the week" from Elsa Beskow's children's book Saga of the year which was first published in 1927. The book describes days of the week and seasons depicted through children and everyday chores.
The illustration shows a girl doing various chores on a farm - she milks cows, churns butter, bakes, sells cheese and goes to church. Around the middle is a verse that describes what she does every day from Monday to Sunday.
Elsa Beskow was a Swedish author and illustrator (1874–1953), known for his beloved children's books and richly detailed illustrations. She created fairy tales where nature and everyday life are mixed with fantasy, such as The Adventures of Sessalätt. Beskow is considered one of the Nordic countries' most significant children's book illustrators. Explore more classics Elsa Beskow here.
