Description: We like the crisp outlines of the stern-faced stork and the absurdity of the supplicant crowned frog, as well as the bold colors that immediately draw the eye to the characters. This is plate 8 of the 1909 book "Komische Käuze" (Strange [Funny] Characters), illustrated by German artist Elisabeth Schellbach.
Description: We like the excitement about industrial advancements in Grif Teller's "Giant Conquerers of Space and Time." Teller created this for the Pennsylvania Railroad in 1931, and we imagine the optimistic feeling about what can be accomplished was probably very welcome during the difficult economic times.
Description: This painting makes us think of warm sunshine and fresh air. We love the oranges, greens, and blues and the interesting forms of the trees. Armand Guillaumin painted "La Baie D’agay Et Le Sémaphore" in 1922. Guillaumin was freinds with and painted alongside many of the better-known impressionists such as Cezanne and Pissarro.
Description: We enjoy the absurdity of these musical frogs in dapper dress carefully following their conductor. This is plate 13 of the 1909 book "Komische Käuze" (Strange [Funny] Characters), illustrated by German artist Elisabeth Schellbach. The complete book is available online through the German Digital Library. While we have been unsuccessful in attempts to translate the stories, the illustrations make us smile.

Description: Moriz Jung was part of the Vienna Workshop (Wiener Werkstatte), and he made some amazing postcards. This is his postcard of a poodle/pudel from 1912, numbered 676. He did a great job with the texture of the corded coat and capturing the happy expression of the dog. Tragically, Jung was killed in WW1 when he was only 29.
Description: The Columbia University Teacher's College produced a book of lino prints of the alphabet, "Letters Designed and Cut on Linoleum Blocks" in 1920. We love that the portion of the bird inside the R "loop" could stand on its own, and the rooster tail that curves around is fantastic. The cool design elements to the left of the R and around the border are a bonus.
Description: The Columbia University Teacher's College produced a book of lino prints of the alphabet, "Letters Designed and Cut on Linoleum Blocks" in 1920. We like the way the peacock works in terracotta vs. blue/green, the dots on the peacock's back, and the way the flowers tie it all together.
Description: The Columbia University Teacher's College produced a book of lino prints of the alphabet, "Letters Designed and Cut on Linoleum Blocks" in 1920. For the letter D, we like the deer's stylish antlers and its "don't mess with me" eyes. We also like the way the stripes carry through from tree to deer to tree.
