A classic poster illustrated by Elsa Beskow. The illustration was published in Saga of the year in 1927 and named October.
Årets saga is a classic picture book by Elsa Beskow from 1927 that deals with the seasons with rhyming text and detailed illustrations. The book depicts how the year passes in home and nature, with verses describing each month, for example "January begins the year, February comes next, March, April has a bud in the hair". It is one of Beskow's best-known books and a popular read-aloud book for children.
In the book it says: How yellow you are, October, how yellow and neighborly you are! In reddest cinnabar thy brush can paint. In gold and red you sizzle to make autumn happy. See the maple, how it flares with its red leaves! Stay, all gold that shines, and fall not too soon! When you're gone, you freeze, and everything is dark and bare. Fall slowly, yellow pennies, on fence, rock and log! We still want to avoid gloves and a woolly winter coat.
Elsa Beskow's fairy tales and illustrations have become classics in Swedish children's literature. She is one of Sweden's most beloved authors and illustrators of all time.

We deliver worldwide and always offer free shipping! Depending on which country you are shipping to, the delivery may mean that certain customs fees and taxes are added - there is no duty or tax on deliveries within, for example, the EU, USA or Norway.
The delivery time is normally 1-3 working days within the Nordic region, 2-5 to the rest of Europe and 3-8 working days in other parts of the world. As for canvas paintings, we make them by hand in our factory in Sweden.
The canvas needs to dry before we stretch them on a wooden frame and send them to you. The delivery time for a canvas painting is therefore approximately 7 working days within the Nordic countries, slightly longer to other countries.
If you order from Norway, your order will be delivered with Fedex, to Sweden and other parts of the world with DHL. Your package is normally delivered to your nearest agent!
