This is going to be a lengthy post but there where so many brilliant pages to show you from my collection of Walter Foster Art Books.
These I believe, were published during the 1950s and 60s.
They are a large A3 paperback "how to" series of art books featuring techniques from different artists.
I had most of my books passed down from my Dad who studied art. I also was delighted to find some recently during a trip to the Mt Tamborine markets.
So much vintage goodness and they have been a valuable resource to me... now my 14 yr old has nabbed them! Strict instructions to look after them, however what I love about them are the splotches of paint from across the years!
These are very much treasured by us.

Beautiful vintage goodness! I completely understand why these are so precious to you.
Love all those old fonts, designs and illustrations. Sigh. Thanks so much for sharing them. :)
Wow, they are so cool! I love the second image the most. I have a lot of old books but none like these, I love them!
