nbelievably beautiful children’s books were produced in Iran in the 1970s. I just wish that I could read them.
The images below are courtesy of A Journey Round My Skull’s “Iran” collection, which I strongly encourage you to visit. Such great use of color, brilliant illustrations, and gorgeous calligraphy… I’m kind of drooling right now. In fact, I should probably go fetch a hankie.
OK. All better. Anyway, please enjoy, and please also take a moment to visit the International Children’s Digital Library HERE.
All images below kindly borrowed from A Journey Round My Skull, a stellar blog of under-appreciated (old) books that you should visit at any and all times.
The birdies might be my favorite, despite the lack of calligraphy/text.

Do you know Parisa Mahmoudi’s work? I love some of her illustrations
