Mooie niet gelopen ansichtkaart in perfecte staat. Wandering Minstrels by Margaret Tarrant.

Margaret Winifred Tarrant (19 August 1888 – 28 July 1959) was an English illustrator, and children's author, specializing in depictions of fairy-like children and religious subjects. She began her career at the age of 20, and painted and published into the early 1950s. She was known for her children's books, postcards, calendars, and print reproductions.
Tarrant began her career by designing Christmas Cards, but it was her book illustration that brought her success and fame.[7] Among the publishers she produced cards for were the Medici Society,[note 1] Hale, Cushman and Flint of Boston, Massachusetts, C. W. Faulkner, and Humphrey Milford.[9] Her postcards were popular, and the illustrations she made for Nursery Rhymes (1914) were reissued as 48 best-selling postcards.[1]: 134 
Although she was already an established artist she still took courses, first at the Heatherley School of Fine Art in 1918, 1921, and 1923. After moving to Peaslake in Surrey she took a course at the Guildford School of Art, where she met and befriended the illustrator Molly Brett.[5]
She enjoyed a long and fruitful association with The Medici Society, who published her postcards, calendars, prints and other works. She started working regularly with Medici in 1920, and they still publish her work.[5] Her work is still popular and remains in print, as greeting cards, postcards and prints.[3] The Medici Society sponsored a six week trip to Palestine in 1934,[3] and part of her illustrated diary of the trip was published as A Journey to the Holy Land in 1988.[10] She became a Medici Society shareholder in 1938.[3] The Society published a short booklet, Margaret Tarrant and her Pictures, in 1982.[4]
Her pretty, naturalistic illustrations were widely known and very popular, particularly in the 1920s and 1930s,[11] when she was very prolific and famous.[7] Horne notes that "Her delicately coloured and rather sentimental watercolours and pen and ink drawings have remained extremely popular to this day."[5]
Tarrant exhibited mainly in Birmingham, as, as follows: 23 works at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists, two works at the Cooling & Sons Gallery, two works at the Dudley Gallery and New Dudley Gallery, eight works at the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, four works at the Royal Academy, and two works at the Society of Women Artists.
