1960′s Retro Library Posters

Posted in Books, geek, graphic design, illustration, inspiration, vintage on April 2, 2013 by bettiemuldoon

Posted by proxy from Dana’s “stuff to blog” queue while she is on medical hiatus. She reads and appreciates all comments…and apologizes for not being able to respond at the moment.

Can’t a Brother catch a break? Let us take ~paws~ from recent posts and share with you centuries old kitteh prints. This 15th Century manuscript shows that a brief instance of feline mischief could be enjoyed and commiserated centuries later. Picture the hapless monk turning from his labours for just a moment, only to find this when he resumed his ministrations:
