Saturday Image Bonus 143

This week's images are from a small 8x5 inch Standard Mail Catalogue from around 1913.  There is no date on it but I would say it is from around 1913/14.  I have scanned about two dozen pages of clothing.  You are in for a treat. I have scanned this quite large so you can use them as a background or cut out portions for your artwork.   As always feel free to use any of the images on my website in your artwork but please do not post or sell the original image on the web in a group or collection or alone.

Saturday Image Bonus 142

Here are a few victorian trade cards from Prudential Insurance.  I copied one of the backs so you could see the ad.  Claims of more then $1,000,000 dollars in 1888,  It just goes to show you how much inflation is this last century.  I imagine that number is closer to $1 Billion now.  As always feel free to use any of the images on my website in your artwork but please do not post or sell the original image on the web in a group or collection or alone.
