Vintage Beauty
Beautiful vintage photograph of a lovely young woman. The photo is mostly black and white but a tinge of warmth has been added and the icon suggests that it originated in France.

Christmas Roses - Beautiful Vintage Illustrations
Vintage illustrations from " Christmas Roses" by Lizzie Lawson and Robert Ellice Mack. There is no known exact date for the publication of the book but a message on the flyleaf was written in 1886. The publishers were Griffith, Farran and company of St. Paul's Churchyard, London. The illustrations are remarkably well conserved and of a really high quality.

"Little Playfellows" - Vintage Children's Book published in 1884.
This little book is full of charming images and moral tales telling little children the advantages of being kind and well-behaved. It was published in 1884 as part of the "Sugar Plum Series" by Peter G. Thomson of Cincinnati.
THE LITTLE CAVALIER. A little boy was playing with his hobby-horse
one day, and making a great deal of noise, when an
old gentleman, who lived in the next room, called
to him and said, "Can you not play more quietly?"
The little boy answered, "It is raining and I can't
go out of doors." The old gentleman said, "But
can you not make less noise, for I am sick and need
rest." The little boy said, "If that is the case, I
will not make any noise." When his mother came
home, she praised him for his kindness, and said he
did right. Little Johnnie, for that was his name,
had forgotten all about the old gentleman, when, a
week after, a large box came to him on which was
written, "To my young neighbor, a souvenir of a
rainy day." The box was full of beautiful lead sol-
diers and cannons, with which he had a great deal
of pleasure. When his mother saw them she said,
"You see, my son, kindness always receives its
reward".
