A new month, a new art history theme. Since April showers bring May flowers, this month I will focus on flowers. And since today is May Day (International Workers' Day), here is today’s post: by Walter Crane, A Garland for May Day, 1895, relief print, the digital collection Political Posters, Labadie Collection, University of Michigan. #ArtHistory #mayday #labor #labour From Wikipedia: ‘The 1st of May, or first Monday in May, is a national public holiday in many countries, in most cases known as "International Workers' Day" or a similar name. Some countries celebrate a Labour Day on other dates significant to them, such as the United States and Canada, which celebrate Labor Day on the first Monday of September.’
