The Retro Kid

Our own Ward Jenkins has started up a great Flickr group called The Retro Kid. It’s an ever-growing collection of children’s illustrations from the 40′s through to the 60′s, and even in its infancy it’s already full of some great stuff.

UPDATE: The group has a new location: Retro Kid. Please join!
