Collecting



Good morning,

I'm really sleepy today and always feel more tired by the end of the week. How about you? So perhaps a little light-hearted inspiration from antique childrens books will perk us up. I like to collect these and look at the illustrations and type fonts. The rhymes are quirky too. The colorful book in the top image has narrow horizontal leaves which flip-flop changing the outfits and characters. This one is even an advertisement for Kellogg's toasted corn flakes!  The lion in the middle is holding a box of the cereal.

End papers has images from the inside covers of old books. I like the Velveteen Rabbit.

Have a bonny weekend!
