A blog dedicated to the fantastic work by women illustrators in the mid-20th century. Essential reading for any illustrator and/or designer. Via @brainpicker.

Obsolete Occupations
Fascinating slideshow on NPR of jobs that have become extinct — see what it was like to be an elevator operator, lamplighter, pinsetter (in a bowling alley) or iceman, just to name a few.
