Freebie: 1940s boy and girl playing with a toy airplane

I found this darling illustration on a vintage birthday card at my favorite local antique mall. The card was sent to a child on their 7th birthday from Lerner's shoe store on Piedmont Avenue in Oakland, California. It was signed by J.E. Learner. I thought that was quite charming. 

Once I did a hi-res scan of it and got it into my computer, I decided to utilize the power of Photoshop to make a couple of other versions that were more ethnically diverse than the original.

Freebie: Vintage image set "Young Women and Men of the Fifties No. 2"

I love the elegance of the look of pen and ink drawing and these vintage illustrations I found in some of my mom's things capture that elegance so well... I simply adore them!

The art originally appeared in literature for a goal-setting program in the 1950s for LDS teenage girls called "Treasures of Truth". I scanned the art using my hi-res art scanner and then digitally restored each one. The four files of this set can be downloaded all together or separately.
