Father's Day Morning Coffee

There are several of these wonderful illustrations for Father's Day from the 1950's and 1960's. They are ads in various old magazines.

I couldn't resist posting this one.

Happy Father's Day to all the good Daddies out there!

Hearts and Flowers

I have collected vintage cards, fairytale books, postcards, old photos and art pieces since I was a small girl.

Even before I could read, I spent hours looking at old cards, coloring books and illustrations in my fairytale story books. I am sure my love for art and even my own drawing stylings came from my fascination with them.

Mail was so rare, I saved every card and letter I received as a child. Some of those nostalgic items will be shared on this blog.

Quite a few of the vintage pieces I have collected reflect the life and times of history itself. The cards, postcards, antique photos and art from my collection are dated from the late 1800's, through WW2. Many of these old cards come from our darling little Grandmother Jenny. I have also included some items from the early 1950's which were given to me by my precious Gramma Gladys and dearest Nita.

In a very real way, this Blog is my way of honoring these marvelous inspiring artists and the ongoing influence they've had in my life.

I hope you will enjoy the beauty, tremendous skill and sometimes whimsical work of these long-gone artists as much as I have over the years.

If you know any historical information concerning these cards, photos and postcards, I would LOVE to hear from you.

Copyright Questions

Artwork including cards, postcards, illustrations, etc., printed before 1930 are no longer copyrighted, but are under Public Domain. However even then, there are lots of gray areas concerning what is Public Domain and what is not.

Scans of public domain images do not generate new copyrights—they merely inherit the copyright status of the image being reproduced. In other words, if something is public domain and is scanned--it remains in the public domain.
See Bridgeman v. Corel.

An individual can claim copyright over a piece of public domain artwork
ONLY if it has been uniquely altered in some fashion.
