1930's Fashion Illustration








These beautiful illustrations were shown to me by a family friend who was related to the lady in the photo, she bought round this big portfolio bursting with these gorgeous fashion drawings and it really was like finding some lost treasures! The lady in the photo above is Ethel and she was about 18/19 in this photo. She did these illustrations at art school in the early thirties and I think they have such a lovely quality about them that as well as being really beautifully illustrated and conceptualised say a lot about the time they were drawn too. Lovely!
