Wonderful selection. Clear illustrations, easily reproduced for pixels, a little more complicated for vectors because the paper is ever so slightly porous, but it is nicely opaque. And the paper does not change!! My copy dates back and the paper is still white. Great job.

I use the pictures in this book for collages. I love the vintage look of the pictures and find that there is a good variety of sizes and subject matter.

I liked this book very much - it was a good mix of vintage images showing women in a very wide range of settings. i plan to use it for altered books and art journals and I forsee it being very useful because of the variety. I liked this better than several of the other clip art books of the same publisher; this is one of the most useful.

This is a great resource of images. It's very diverse in the type/age/ethnicity of the images of women. I would recommend it to any crafter/mixed media artist.

This is a lovely collection of old images of women in various poses and styles of dress. I am excited that these images are copyright free and I hope to be able to use them for my own creative projects.

Thanks, Mom and Dad!

great images, lots of them large enough to scan great. including the famous face used by fornasetti in lots of his work!

The images in this book are great, but unfortunately I haven't had much oppurtunity to use many of them. I would hold off on this one unless you are sure you will have a need for graphics of women in future projects. The quality is great as expecte from Dover, but I don't have much need for this particular book.
