This review is from: Vintage Spot Illustrations of Children: 795 Cuts from the Teens and Twenties (Dover Pictorial Archives) (Paperback)

This Dover publication is a wonderful collection of cuts
from magazines and children's publications from the

1910's and 1920's. The illustrations were collected by

the author and her family over the years. The collection

includes children of all ages and in all areas of life -

including various seasons - Christmas, Easter, Hallowe'en, - and children of different cultures. There

are some lovely sets of cut-outs - children with different

sets of clothing with tabs like the paper dolls we played

with as children. This book would be a wonderful source

of clipart for many applications, including scrapbooks.

Limited permission is given to use the cuts for graphic

and crafts applications. A companion publication by the

same author is 'Spot Illustrations from Women's

Magazines of the Teens and Twenties'.
