I'm really enjoying these posts of the Tandy illustrations! Thank you for posting them. They're so rich and vibrant! I also am a fan of the 1930's styles and hair. :)
Thank you so much for posting these beautiful illustrations. I love seeing the clothing and automobiles from the 1930's especially. I also love the illustrations of Nancy and others throughout the years.⅚
Thank you both for letting me know! It's motivating to know that posts are appreciated. I will do all of the glossies for Nancy Drew up through #17. After that, I will post the glossies for the Dana Girls and Judy Bolton series.
