While the clothing is the centerpiece of these illustrations, these pictures do so much more than just demonstrate popular styles around the turn of the century. They're vignettes of the American Dream - sweet depictions of the idealized lifestyle women supposedly wanted.

Instead of letting this artwork languish in archives, we wanted to help it reach a new audience: you.

All of the vintage images in this book were carefully chosen, then painstakingly restored with digital technology to return them to their original splendor.

As you'll see inside, each antique picture was printed only on one side of the white paper, allowing you to color with your choice of medium without worrying about bleed-through to an image on the back.

We hope you love this book full of little glimpses into the past, and enjoy giving each one fresh new color.
