I got this little catalog last week, and just had to share some of the illustrations. I really tried to limit myself to just a few, but realized that I loved so many of them. So this post is short on words, but long on wonderful illustrations from 1915.

I’m glad you like these.
One reason I posted them was to show the huge difference in illustration style that took place throughout the 20th century. I’ll post more examples next week.

I don’t blame you for getting excited about these illustrations! They are so ‘of their time,’ and as Vannie Ryanes says, the soft colour palette is gorgeous.

Garnet, That’s a shame, as the illustration is so idyllic!

I was delighted to find this post. My sister just wondered why our mother always called sandals “play shoes” since that term isn’t used anymore. Apparently it was way back then – Mom was born in 1915. Thank you so much for enlightening us!
