About This Design

Vintage Children's Book Week Library Illustration Postcard

Vintage Children's Book Week Library Illustration Postcard

This iconic vintage poster, created by celebrated American illustrator Jessie Willcox Smith in 1920, was commissioned for the first official Children's Book Week. The artwork features a timeless, wholesome library scene: a boy is engrossed in a book on the floor while a girl selects a book from an overflowing shelf. The central message, "More Books in the Home!", promotes childhood literacy and the joy of reading. Rendered in Smith’s signature soft, warm style, the illustration exudes a nostalgic charm, making it a beloved piece of American graphic history.

I had never seen these classic science fiction images and most of my friends have not seen them either. They are like little treasures! Amazing quality and fun to send people!

I joined Postcrossing a few months ago and wanted postcards to represent my state well. I found them on Zazzle. I purchased numerous cards and was impressed with all of them. Excellent! The colors are beautiful. The cards have the exact look I wanted. I couldn't be happier.
