Illustration as it used to be... @fuckyeahvintageillustration - Tumblr Blog

Hello, first saw you on Pintrist just nownow...have you heard of a beautiful vintage book " i think it is" called HARRIET THE HEDGEHOG AND HER LITTLE RED SHOES??? this was my favorite childrens book way back in the early 70s. Unfortunately i can t find it ANYWHERE hope to hear from you and thanks for reading Erin in California

Sorry, I've never heard of it.

You have a post or two with works by the French artist Paul-Henry Lafon. Do you have a source for any biographical info on him? I can’t find anything. No idea when or where he was born, died, lived, really nothing. Anything would be a great help. Thanks

Sorry, I don't know anything about him either, apart from the fact that he was an Impressionist painter and also did some poster work.

I am wondering why such a beautiful site has .... well, such a common vulgar-sounding name. :-(

The folly of youth.

36e Exposition Canine. 1906. Edouard Doigneau.

62 1/8 x 46 ½ in./157.7 x 118 cm

Dog-lovers rejoice! This affectionate terrier, leaning on the lovely lady with parasol and Sunday-strolling dress, wishes very much that you’d walk him to this splendid exhibition at the Tuileries – a dog show, plus a gallery of paintings of dogs on the hunt. It’s being put on by the Central Society for the Improvement of Dog Breeds. Tuileries, a professional painter of country scenes, produced (what may very well be) his only poster in exactly three colors: black, mustard-brown and yellow, a remarkable economy of pigments.

Côte d'Azur. 1910. David Dellepiane.

30 ½ x 42 5/8 in./77.5 x 108.3 cm

An understudy of Chéret, David Dellepiane returned from Paris to his childhood home of Marseilles, where he took fine advantage of the Provençal light to create dreamy Impressionist portraits of the Côte d'Azur. This, one of his most famous posters for the region, sees him emulating Renoir and Sisley – but on the far right, the lady with the parasol is rendered with a nod to British Modernism. Two other posters, for Antibes and Grasse, have nearly the same composition: just a slight difference in the trees, and in the artistic mode of presentation.
