This design features a charming collection of hand-painted animals originally created by British illustrator Cecil Aldin. Known for his distinctive, playful depictions of animals, Aldin was a prominent member of the London Sketch Club and contributed illustrations to a variety of well-known literary works. His farmyard subjects included familiar scenes such as hens with their chicks and groups of ducks in motion. The design draws on this whimsical character, bringing together a nostalgic assortment of illustrated farm animals.
