I found this vintage booklet at the Vintage Paper Fair. I was immediately struck by the sweet illustrations that reminded me of one part Charley Harper and one part Rifle Paper Co.
I’m especially in love the way the flora and fauna are drawn. Although some of the depictions of the Canadians may be culturally insensitive–the overall tone and spirit of the maps make me really happy and make me wanna hop in my car with a warm coat and some trail mix and head North.
Oh! Awesome!
Even more so…You’ve shown my Home. Newfoundland {and Labrador} a wonderful place to be. If you drive and boat it this way {next to the drama masks} do drop in for tea!
Be well!
I was wondering if any Canadian readers would see their homes here! I’d love to drop in for tea :P thanks for the offer!
These illustrations are super adorable. Love the nordic inspired style of illustration and colours. Plus I love Canada:-) Cheers, Igor xoxo
Me too I love Canada!!
Theres a whimsical feel to the illustrations that I just love, J! Never been to Canada but from the stories my Gran tells me of her time there I really would love to visit one day – especially the Rockies!
oooo yes the Rockies would be SWEET
reminds me of your & Jason’s wedding invite! cute! can’t wait to catch that vintage paper fair with you next time! xx, s
So flattered that these illos remind you of the invites!! yup– you gotta come next time– so much quirky copywriting stuff- you’ll love.
Yippeee for Canada! Tee hee. Where’s Vancouver?
The illustrations are so fresh and graphic, the composition so dynamic, that at first glance I thought this booklet was printed now. Wonderful little gem!
i’m a proud canadian and i think this is cyooot. wish i had found it!
No wonder Americans think we live in igloos and ride on sleds pulled by dogs, with a Mountie on every corner. Cute, yes, but really. 1967 was Canada’s Centenary for goodness sakes.
