"Children's illustration by George L. Du Maurier" refers to the body of work created by the British cartoonist and author George Louis Palmella Busson du Maurier (1834–1896), who was known for his work as an illustrator and writer for the British satirical magazine Punch, as well as for his novels, most notably "Trilby." Du Maurier's illustrations for children are less well-documented than his other works, but they reflect the Victorian era's attitudes towards childhood and the aesthetic styles of the period.

George du Maurier was born in Paris to a French father and an English mother and moved to England as a young man. He began his career as a chemist but soon turned to art and illustration. His work for Punch, which spanned over three decades, was characterized by its wit, social satire, and keen observation of Victorian society. Du Maurier's illustrations often included depictions of children and family life, showcasing his ability to capture the innocence and playfulness of childhood, as well as the nuances of family dynamics.

In addition to his work for Punch, du Maurier illustrated several books, including his own novels. His illustrations for children would have been in line with the Victorian idealization of childhood and the period's moral and educational themes. Du Maurier's style was detailed and precise, with a strong narrative element that was well-suited to storytelling in both literary and visual forms.

While specific works titled "Children's illustration by George L. Du Maurier" are not widely recognized or cataloged as a distinct collection, his contributions to children's literature and illustration form an important part of his artistic legacy. His work remains of interest to scholars of Victorian art and literature, as well as to collectors and enthusiasts of historical illustrations.

As an illustrator, du Maurier's influence extended beyond his lifetime, with his grandson, the actor Sir Gerald du Maurier, and his great-granddaughter, the author Daphne du Maurier, continuing the family's artistic tradition. George du Maurier's illustrations, including those depicting children, offer a window into the visual culture of the Victorian era and its enduring fascination with the innocence and potential of childhood.
