Sarah Steier and Donna Braun have pooled their extensive collections to write A Bit of Brundage, a book about the prolific and very collectible American illustrator Frances Brundage. This volume contains over 500 color illustrations, taken from calendars, books, postcards, paper and cloth dolls, prints, advertisements, and other items--all decorated by the artist during the period from the late 1800s to the mid-1930s. Brundage was atypical of her time, as a woman who successfully supported herself by her art from an early age. She became a well-known and sought-after illustrator, with a working career that spanned generations. Today, those who love her drawings of children and beautiful ladies also will be intrigued by her humor. Students of illustration will find A Bit of Brundage a revelation, and the rest of us will quite simply enjoy it.

A Bit of Brundage : The Illustration Art of Frances Brundage,
By "lksdolls" (Midwest USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: A Bit of Brundage: The Illustration Art of Frances Brundage (Hardcover)
I just recently became interested collecting vintage children's books. A Bit of Brundage: The Illustration Art of Frances Brundage is an outstanding resourse book. The beautiful pictures of her illustrations makes it easy to pick and choose what to look for. It provides a visual that you just don't get just from a description. I wish there were more reference books available like this one. OUTSTANDING PLUS! On a scale of 1-10, this book is a 12. Please do more books like this on other illustrators. This book is outstanding, even if you don't use it as a reference book. Great coffee table book.

This review is from: A Bit of Brundage: The Illustration Art of Frances Brundage (Hardcover)
Great resource for any fan of Frances Brundage. The images are excellent and without a doubt scanned or photographed from the originals. Every one is clear, sharp, and bright. The book had many images I'd never seen elsewhere.
