Vintage Book Illustrations

You could get lost for hours in all the beautiful images in the Vintage Children's Books pool on Flickr. I can already tell I'm going to be posting lots of them here. To start, this forest scene illustrated by Inge Friebel in 1959 from the book Vom Moritz der kein Schmutzkind mehr sein wollte. (via Cookie)

This illustration of a monster's digestive system from OKIDO, a science magazine for children, is just what I needed to explain Sugartoot's recent belly drama to her. (via Babygadget)

What the World Eats

This is the Ayme family of Tingo, Ecuador, and what a bunch of cute, happy smiley faces they are. Featured on Time.com's "What the World Eats" slide show, their weekly expenditure for food is $31.55. What would your food look like all spread out before you? Ours would be a mountain of pasta. (via Crooked House)

Old Master Portraits

I love, love, love, the blog Crooked House, which I recently discovered. Inspired by photographer Hendrik Kerstens' portraits of his daughter, Stephany took photos of her son Luke posing with diapers and other household items on his head, and they are priceless. Get your camera and your garbage and capture your subject! (via Ohdeedoh)
