Description

Blank Inside

Decorative colored envelope included.

Art Deco was a graphic design style which lasted from the 1910’s through the 1940’s. It was characterized by shapely simplification, smooth edges, flat color and lack of background detail. Some of the influential designers who embodied the simplicity of Art Deco were Henry Dreyfus (product design), Tamara de Lempicka (painting), A.M. Cassandre (posters), Paul Poiret (fashion), and Le Corbusier (architecture). As time went on the tendency worked its way into almost every area of design.

These notecards utilize die cut designs originally made for bridge tallys. Bridge was an extremely popular recreation in the twenties and thirties, and tallys were cards given to each player on which scores were recorded.

Description

Entertaining anthology of weird and wonderful scenes from old children’s books.

This volume has seen many years in the making.  The author has kept track, as he collected and cataloged the huge Blue Lantern library old children’s picture books, of particularly unusual images and situations.  Here are some of the best, and rarest of these discoveries.  The world of children’s books is one where imagination is given free rein, and the results are both stimulating and delightful.  Artists and authors include Frank Baum, Edward Lear, Gelett Burgess, Peter Newell, John R. Neill and Charles Doyle.

Welleran Poltarnees, who together with his wife Alexandra Day founded the legendary Green Tiger Press, authored the popular series of Good Dog Carl children’s books, and head the various publishing enterprises of The Laughing Elephant, has been collecting weird and wonderful moments from children’s literature for over three decades.  It is his collection of over 15000 children’s books that fuels the Laughing Elephant’s creative spirit, and it is from this world class collection that he has drawn the selections that appear in Weird and Wonderful.
