Children's book illustrations - Vintage Drawings for inspiration
Here are a few of the vintage children's book illustrations from my collection
I have a large library of vintage illustrated picture books from the 90s all the way back to the 40s. I actually have more than I care to admit 😄
I get them for inspiration of things to draw and ideas for making my own children's books.
Here are some book covers to check out!
