Illustration’s by William Wallace Denslow(1856-1915) for his book Denslow’s Mother Goose.He’s probably best known as the illustrator for L.Frank Baum’s “The Wonderful Wizard of Oz” .Denslow is such a fascinating artist to me for his time his drawings look pretty modern the limited colors,minimalist backgrounds, bold choices like just having a shape as a background,and his cartoonish thick outlined designs are pretty graphically ahead in kids book illustration for the early 1900s shame he didn’t illustrate the other Oz books don’t get me wrong I love John R Neil but Denslows art just has a odd charm to it I want to see in the other Oz books.

I really hate how the 1900s are romanticized. Like yes ma'am, you would live in a nice house with traditional values with a husband.

with those values being that you have no autonomy when it comes to democracy, racism/homophobia/transphobia and sexism is at a high, and the Nazi party is actively trying to take over the world.

being a trad wife is fine. but do not act like the 1900s were "simply heaven" or anything of the sort.
