Vintage Illustrations Of Japan by Marguerite Davis
I wanted to share these sweet illustrations by Marguerite Davis today, from a vintage book Lori found last year at a thrift shop. (Published in 1934, the title is "Growth In English".)

Marguerite Davis illustrated a centennial edition of "Heidi" by Johanna Spyri, published in 1927 by Ginn & Co. Most of the illustrations are black-and-white line drawings, with one or two full-page illustrations in color. Here is a sample: http://pinterest.com/pin/328758/
