Adult coloring books have transformed from an activity thought exclusive to children to a popular relaxation method for adults. Pioneered by the McLoughlin Brothers and illustrator Kate Greenaway in 1879 with their Little Folks' Painting Book, which featured delightful engravings and nursery rhymes, this trend has redefined how adults express creativity. The book included guidelines to help colorers maintain structure, demonstrating a blend of nostalgia and artistic challenge. A vast array of retro adult coloring options, such as mandalas and pop culture figures, now exist, showcasing the enduring appeal of illustrated art in contemporary leisure.
The McLoughlin Brothers' Little Folks' Painting Book changed the perception of coloring books, once solely for children, introducing creativity for adults in 1879.
Illustrator Kate Greenaway's enduring nursery rhymes and fun outlines laid the foundation for an adult coloring movement, where intricacy meets creativity in artistic expression.
