1901 - A Maiden's Cheek and Lovely Litho Dots






I wasn't going to share the cover of the 1901 Burpee catalog cover as it looked so saccharine.

But, when I saved it at full scan resolution it was lovely.

The apple cheeked maiden just glowed!

1901 - Explore Burpee's Quarter Century Catalog





I am such a sucker for a fun bird's eye view lithograph, and, for some reason, the architectural boastings of seedsmen.
Have fun walking around the Burpee farms and stores, don't trip over the litho dots :-)

1894 - Today's Farm Litho: Bird's Eye View of Burpee Seed Farm

What can make a lithograph more appealing to me?  
Being a bird's eye view of something, that's what!!



It is just so much fun to walk around the farm with those little people.  Enjoy!




 I love the stipling. It can evoke so much detail with a pile of dots and overprinted colors.
