The magazine I have been posting from the last few weeks is filled with beautiful images.  I loved all your comments of how small the waists were and that it did not start with todays models.  Here are a few more images from the 1895 Delineator magazine.  Check out Digital Two for Tuesday for some iron work designs from this same magazine.

This week I am continuing to post more images from The Delineator Magazine February 1895.  The details in the clothing are amazing.  Someone asked me if  these are hand drawn.  They are originally hand drawn then printed.  Some of them are signed.

February 1895 Delineator

This magazine is filled with stunning images.  I lucked out this summer and found a vendor with a few of these from the late 1800's.  I couldn't wait until next weekend and had to post more of these beautiful images.

Well, I found a software program and I am experimenting with it now.  So let me know what you think.

All of these pictures are from a February 1895 Delineator magazine.  More puffy sleeves, intricate collars and elegant long dresses.

This is the cover.

It has been a crazy holiday season and I have not had a chance to post lately.  I am still looking for an editing software and the thought of posting without repairing the images has discourage me.  Today I am posting some pages from a December 1911 McCall's magazine.  It has some great ads and some wonderful sketches of dresses.  The cover art is a beautiful wreath with a girl.

I got a new scanner this week and my beloved old software program will not work with it.  I am trying to find the right new software for scanning and repairing images.  I also want to use it to make my digital stamps.  If any of you have any suggestions on software to use on a MAC that doesn't cost too much I would appreciate it.  In the meantime, please bear with me.  I am not able to repair these images much as I like.  Below are Christmas postcards from the early 1900's.

Today I have some Christmas postcards I found at the flea market this summer.  They have postmarks from 1907 to 1911.  I love to hunt for interesting cards at the market.  Unfortunately the flea market closed for the winter last week.  Luck for all of you I still have lots of treasures to post.

Happy Thanksgiving to All

This week is Thanksgiving in the USA.  Yesterday my daughter and I joined a group of my coworkers to pack up 150 turkey dinners for families who otherwise would not be able to have a Thanksgiving dinner.  In less than an hour my coworkers and I had all the meals packed and on trucks.  We had so much fun and we were able to help people too.  In the spirit of Thanksgiving I challege of of you to do something this week to help someone else.  Though this year has been a challenging one for my family I am always thankful for all the good things that come my way.

The images I am posting today are from a large sized french children's book from the 1920's called Pierrette.  The artist is Zou Zou?  I can't read the writing.   I have included part of the cover but I can not fit even half the book in the scanner.  Anyway the pictures are adorable.  I love the clothing and the hairstyles.
