Illustrations to add a nostalgic touch,
By Charles Ashbacher (Marion, Iowa United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (VINE VOICE) (HALL OF FAME REVIEWER)
This review is from: Spot Illustrations from Women's Magazines of the Teens and Twenties: 828 Cuts of Women, Family, Home, Garden, etc (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
The early years of the twentieth century were a much simpler time in terms of technology, relationships and activities. Everyday events were captured in the form of drawings and these drawings were published in women's magazines. The illustrations in this collection were taken from those magazines and are now in the public domain. Therefore, they can be used to add a nostalgic flavor to graphic projects. People are depicted doing many things, doing farm and household chores, celebrating holidays, and modeling clothes. With so many different high quality images, you can no doubt find something for your project in this collection.

A fascinating glimpse into the past,
This review is from: Spot Illustrations from Women's Magazines of the Teens and Twenties: 828 Cuts of Women, Family, Home, Garden, etc (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
"Spot Illustrations from Women's Magazines of the Teens and Twenties: 828 Cuts of Women, Family, Home, Garden, etc." is a valuable historical sourcebook. The collection has been compiled and arranged by Judy M. Johnson, who also provides an introduction.The illustrations in this book depict the hair styles, clothing, and hat styles of this era. The illustrations also depict ideal women engaging in various activities: dancing, going on a horse drawn carriage ride, cooking and doing other household chores, etc. There are pictures of wedding dresses, home exteriors and interiors, etc. Yes, these pictures undoubtedly present a sanitized portrait of the era. But this book is an interesting visual resource which opens a window onto the social values of the years from 1910-1929.

Wonderful collection of graphic art from the 1910's & 1920's,
By A Customer
This review is from: Spot Illustrations from Women's Magazines of the Teens and Twenties: 828 Cuts of Women, Family, Home, Garden, etc (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)
This Dover publication is a collection of graphic art from magazines and children's literature published in the 1910's and 1920's. The cuts are in black and white and are mainly line drawings and silhouettes. Many I can remember from my mother's childhood books that she used to read to us as children. The illustrations were collected by the author and her family over the years and limited permission is given for their use in graphic and crafts applications. They would be wonderful for use in newsletters, invitations, scrapbooks, decorative painting, etc. Most of the illustrations are of women and children, but there are some of men, scenery, and special occasions such as Christmas, Easter, winter, and spring. A companion book by the same author is 'Vintage Spot Illustrations of Children, 795 Cuts from the Teens and Twenties'.
