These images are scans from the personal collection of ‘Will’, a book collector with an obsession for illustrations and graphic designs from around the world.

To see the rest of the set, please visit the original post on his blog:  A Journey Round My Skull.

[Update: He moved the images to a new site, 50 Watts.  New post link.]

Old illustrations and old books in general are fascinating to me.  I actually have some old Sears catalogs from the 70s that I want to look through and maybe post some pictures from.
