Detailed drolleries from a 1920s childrens book series.

I mean these aren't even the actual illustrations, they're just decorative margins. Pictured here in mostly blue because it shows the details the best. This book series actually alternate print colors in blue, red, green and brown. And theres different ones in all the different books, these are just some I liked.

"The Children's Hour" story collection, by the Houghton Mifflin publishing company, 1928

Advertisement from the early part of the 20th century, easily pre 1920, since the telephone number only has three digits! (The back simply has the customers address in Massena, NY)

Found in a copy of "Modern Book-Keeping", J.L. Montgomery, 1902 edition
