Vintage Roman Ladybirds
I was rearranging my Ladybird books recently and noticed that I had a "double" about Julius Caesar and Roman Britain.
Printed a couple of decades apart, it is interesting to see the different covers and the fonts used.
The first one is an early one with a paper dust jacket, the second one is from the 70s.
As usual with Ladybird Books, the illustrations are fabulous.
Love, Liz

Comments
For those who like Ladybird books, particularly for their illustrations, they might also like the books of John S Goodall, who was an artist/illustrator and his books are without words and usually set in Victorian or Edwardian England.
The early Ladybird books from the 1950s and early 1960s are easily some of the best, particularly the bird and nature books with their gorgeous illustrations.
