Vintage Ephemera: Fun and Nonsense by Willard Bonte (1904)
I’ve always been a lover of anthropomorphic art, so when I found this old children’s book from 1904 on the internet I was pretty jazzed. It’s called Fun and Nonsense, and was written by Willard Bonte. I know nothing of Mr. Bonte, and Wikipedia offers no help, but his contribution to the world of illustrated children’s literature is spectacular indeed.
