I just picked up this 1942 version of Andersen’s Fairy Tales at the local Goodwill.

I had to share some pictures from it.

The illustrations are just great, aren’t they? Those colors and everything. This man is a bit intimidating.

And the emperor, wearing his imaginary clothes:

I just rediscovered a book of children’s piano music from the 40s? 50s? not sure what era, and I’ll try to take some pictures of them soon. I love looking at these old illustrations, they’re so inspiring to me. Oh and I’ve just got to hem up and put a zipper in a new dress then post about it, so back to showing sewn things soon.
