As delightful as it gets! Madeleine was and will always be my favorite childhood obsession. This curation was just perfect and so much fun!

I feel that you’ll appreciate that when I went as Madeleine for Halloween in the early 90s, I carried a Fauchon bag though the suburbs of Ohio for my candy collection. Love that my mother thought anything else would throw off the outfit.

He is one of my favorites. Up there with Saul Steinberg. Pure whimsy.

Yes! Love Saul too. My grandpa was an illustrator and his work was very Steinbergian—makes me very nostalgic!

This was SO nostalgic and such a lovely read for my monday morning. Big Madeline fan and sometimes plop an old school episode up on YouTube when I need to feel some ounce of joy and escape to better times 🙌🏻 . Delightful to dive into more work from Bemelmans! Thank you!

Love this! I think the Prospect Park wallpaper/mural from The Lawns would sit nicely in here too!

Great minds...big Bemelmans fans over here too. Just wrote about his Ritz-inspired work a couple weeks ago. Loved this round-up
