Northrup, King and Co. was founded in 1884 as Northrup, Braslan and Company. Its founders, Jesse E. Northrup and Charles E. Braslan, moved to Minneapolis from the East. They chose Minneapolis because they believed seeds grown in the North were resilient and productive, and because they viewed Minneapolis as an ideal distribution center. They published their first illustrated seed catalog in 1885. It used striking full-color lithographs that made a strong impression. 

Isn't she a beautiful child? What a gorgeous illustration regardless the stereotype this could bring to mind. However I am so enchanted with this image and the history behind it that I risk sharing it with you in hopes you will love it for its imagery and story and not see it in an ill light.

Antique Fan:Free Image

8/30/2014

 
Here is a great picture of an antique Western Electric fan. The electric fan was invented in 1882 by Schuyler Skaats Wheeler. Wheeler (1860-1923) figured out how to apply the fledgling science of electricity to make a fan turn. Drawing on the work of Thomas Edison and Nicola Tesla, Wheeler invented a desktop fan consisting of two blades—unshielded by any sort of protective cage—powered by an electric motor. The fan was marketed by the Crocker & Curtis Electric Motor Co. Which brings to mind...how on earth did I not loose an appendage in one of these things as a child. Little to no protective cage, metal blades and I know for a fact I used to talk into them to change my voice.  LUUUUUKE I AMMMMM YOUUUUR FAAAATHER!
Ok sorry I regress...

Please use this responsibly in your projects...don't lose a finger!

In the spirit of nearly Halloween. Witch (purposely spelled wrong hehe) is my favorite time of year so it is never too early to start planning ahead for some spooky fun. I created the book cover here by using a photograph of an antique Shakespeare book. Then doing a little photo shop altering changing "Shakespeare" to "Shadows" and I left the illustrated part alone because I thought it worked well with the new cover. I then added 3 pieces of vintage imagery from the Halloween section on The Graphics Fairy. The owl. The skull in the center and the crow in the title. and melded them in by turning the skull image gold like the trim, adding a dark shadow around the owl   to match the dark brown trim. Then the raven I created a shadow out of the vintage scrap and filled it in with the texture of the rusty parts of the cover.  You are welcome to download this and use it for personal projects only. Be sure to upload your DIY. We would love to see how you use it. Wouldn't this be fun on a personal journal?
