From the office of Dusty Old Books
Loving these illustrations by W. W. Desnlow from his book "Denslow's Mother Goose." The color palette, the line work, the nutty character designs. Pure gold.
Denslow is probably most famous for illustrating the original Wizard of Oz books.
You can see high res scans of the entire Mother Goose book here: LINK
The book does include negative depictions of people and cultures. These stereotypes were wrong then and are wrong now.
