and here's one of the illos I will definitely be using:







That's a 300 DPI scan reduced to 75 DPI, I'll also use a 150 DPI version. It needs a bit more cleaning up.

Gosh, that's a fantastic illustration. I love how well illustrated things used to be. Like how Mucha used to do adverts for like, soap powder and stuff.

Heh, more pages devoted to tobacco and pipes than provisions and vegetables.

Would love to see the motor cars page. And the zoological stuff, just because I'm intrigued as to what it might be.

The car page is not very exciting. Some small line drawings of cars, e.g. Ford Prefect, Morris Eight, etc, basically advertising some sort of hire purchase scheme.

The zoological stuff is pet supplies - bird food and cages, dog bowls, aquariums, etc., again not terribly exciting.

Ah, okay, not very exciting at all.
