About this Blog

Images scanned from vintage publications for you to enjoy, be inspired by or otherwise use as you see fit.
All images have been scanned by me from books and magazines I own. If you want to re-post these on your Tumblr pages, please re-blog them from my Tumblr account. That way all attribution is already in place. Also, the versions on Tumblr seem to be compressed less.

There is no real theme here apart from mid-century images that I find visually appealing; therefore you will find stocking-clad ladies well represented.

A lot of these images were scanned from cheap magazines with quite poor print and/or paper quality, thus some pictures aren't the greatest.

Simply click on the pictures for the large versions (you may have to click again, depending on your browser, for the largest version). Comments positively encouraged.
