About mid-century illustrated

NOTE: Pleas post only 8 images per source, unless it's a children's book. Then, only 3 images per source. No daily posting limit. Also, we are an illustration group. Please do not post photos.

* * *

A place to post *anything* illustrated, for *any* audience, from the period spanning 1945-1965 (with a little latitude on either end).

We're looking for illustrations from sources including, but not limited to, magazines (including advertising), books, packaging, record album covers, etc.

The only thing I can think that probably doesn't belong are snapshot-type photos from the era, unless they're of signage ... there is another group, 1950's Style, that encompasses that kind of thing. In fact, we're not looking for any photography, even printed in mags or books, unless the typography that accompanies it is particularly special.

It's not that we don't love the cool editorial and advertising photography of the time, but our aim is to feature the illustration, graphic layout styles, and typography of the period.

Post as often and as much as you wish!
