One of her best-known working relationships was with Chilprufe Ltd, a leading UK manufacturer of children's clothing, and this illustration was produced for use in their catalogues and advertisements.\r\n\r\nThe Chilprufe (originally Chillproof) brand was founded by John Adams Bolton (1867-1945) in Leicester in 1906.  Chilprufe garments were of high quality, were good value and were very much in mainstream taste for the first sixty years of the twentieth century.  Although the company also produced garments for adults, and a range of children's outer clothing under the brand name 'Pobbie', it is best remembered for children's underwear.","physicalDescription":"Drawing in pencil, ink and wash, on cream coloured paper-faced card.  The illustration shows a children's nurse watching three children dressed in Chilprufe garments: two girls in vests and petticoats, one riding a rocking horse, the other standing on the rockers behind her; a younger child (probably a girl) in vest and drawers, is seated between the horse's front legs, and a teddy bear and ball are placed on the floor.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Hocknell, Lilian","id":"A19556"},"association":{"text":"artist","id":"AAT25103"},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"pencil","id":"x30347"},{"text":"ink","id":"AAT15012"},{"text":"wash","id":"AAT11051"},{"text":"card","id":"x30344"}],"techniques":[{"text":"drawing","id":"x32498"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Drawing in pencil, pen and wash on paper-faced card","categories":[{"text":"Drawings","id":"THES48966"},{"text":"Children & Childhood","id":"THES48980"},{"text":"Children's clothes","id":"THES48979"},{"text":"Clothing","id":"THES48975"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"YVA","id":"THES48593"},"images":["2009CT3972"],"imageResolution":"low","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"003","id":"THES343655"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Drawing","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"England","id":"x28826"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"ca. 1922","earliest":"1917-01-01","latest":"1926-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[{"object":{"text":"B.15-2006","id":"O136552"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"B.17-2006","id":"O136572"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"B.18-2006","id":"O136573"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"B.19-2006","id":"O136574"},"association":"Set"},{"object":{"text":"B.89-1996","id":"O38639"},"association":"Reproduction"}],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Height","value":"46.2","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"37.6","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"","marksAndInscriptions":[{"content":"'DEEP ETCHED/ HALF TONE AND LINE'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Instructions to printer"},{"content":"'ORIGINAL ARTWK £30'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"Dealer's indication of state and cost"},{"content":"'30'","inscriber":{"name":{"text":"","id":""},"association":{"text":"","id":""}},"date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"description":"","interpretation":"","language":"","medium":"","method":"","position":"","script":"","translation":"","transliteration":"","type":"","note":"on reverse"}],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Drawing by Lilian Hocknell of children in Chilprufe garments, for commercial use; England, ca. 1922","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"Produced for Chilprufe Ltd; see p 12 of Chilprufe catalogue for July 1922 (B.89-1996)\n\nAttribution note: Illustration for manufacturer's catalogue","productionType":{"text":"Design","id":"THES48872"},"contentDescription":"","contentPlaces":[],"associatedPlaces":[],"contentPerson":[],"associatedPerson":[],"contentOrganisations":[],"associatedOrganisations":[],"contentPeople":[],"associatedPeople":[],"contentEvents":[],"associatedEvents":[],"contentOthers":[{"text":"children","id":"x31526"},{"text":"children's clothing","id":"x30595"},{"text":"rocking horse","id":"AAT211216"},{"text":"teddy bear","id":"AAT211334"},{"text":"ball","id":"AAT217875"}],"contentConcepts":[],"contentLiteraryRefs":[],"galleryLabels":[],"partNumbers":["B.16-2006"],"accessionNumberNum":"16","accessionNumberPrefix":"B","accessionYear":2006,"otherNumbers":[],"copyNumber":"","aspects":["WHOLE"],"assets":[],"recordModificationDate":"2026-04-01","recordCreationDate":"2007-06-26","availableToBook":false}}
