I can hardly contain myself! Just look at these beautiful Polish children's books from the 50s found at the ever-excellent A Journey Around My Skull. Fly over now for more wonderful illustrations. A real visual treat, you won't be disappointed!

  2. There is something comforting with these images...like something reminisant from childhood.
    Love the simple, vintage style.
