Album a Colorier Laughing Elephant

Ever since we published our happily-received Santa's ABC Coloring Book, we've been searching for another fine old coloring book to offer. Finally, in a Paris flea market, we found it: Album à Colorier.



Originally published in 1942, Album à Colorier boasts the excellent design of its era. The classic pictures are evocative of times past.



The book shows daily life in mid-century Paris. Throughout the course of the book, we visit homes, parks, and the seaside, and see how French children of the time learned, cooked, played, skied, and had picnics.



Black and white versions of most images allow the user to recreate the loveliness, and get in on the fun - just as the original owners of this book did nearly 100 years ago.



Album à Colorier is perfect for the young artist or francophile in your life. It is a unique coloring book that you won't find anywhere else - save for 20th-century Paris.
