I simply adore vintage children's book illustrations! Some of the color combinations and mix of patterns are so inspiring for fashion. I particularly loved the colors in the top two illustrations and I love the Renaissance feel the "Swan Lake" illustrations have on the bottom.

I love old children's books. I try to copy how they look in my own art.
ReplyDeleteI completely adore children's illustrations too, being a big fan of Arthur Rackham. They really given an insight into the ideals and dreams of an age.
ReplyDeleteYou may like this very 1930s illustration from The Big Christmas Wonder Book (which I hope to be writing on soon)
