Autumn Leaves

I found some pretty images featuring leaves in my vintage magazines, and I just felt like sharing them.

(The artwork in the first illustration appears to be signed by Bowles - I am sorry I could not find any additional information nor the first name of the artist. No name on the second illustration that I can see. I try to give credit to the wonderful artists when I am able!)
