Old Fashion Picture Book

DUE TO CANCER MY ABILITY IS HENCEFORTH LIMITED ON TUMBLR BLOGS. Many picture I post will not be restored, enhanced or otherwise improved. Peace! Vintage Art & Illustration: Graphics art & illustration from old children's picture books, magazines, ads, by the great masters of the Golden Age of Illustration (circa 1880s - 1920s.) We explore nursery rhymes, Shakespeare, fantasy, fairy tales, and mythology, legend, and lore. Many fine painters captured similar themes as well.
