Post cute boys drawn in styles that don't necessarily fit the anime style. Comics, old book illustrations, cartoons, retro advertising, mascots are all welcome here. Drawn artistic nudity should be posted to catbox.moe. No explicit content! Previous: >>3914990
>>3970891 His horrid living conditions in captivity were unbefitting of a pauper, yet alone a prince. Nobody deserves such treatment; all at the hands of the people who proclaimed to be fighting for "liberty".
>>3971113 The French Revolution was fostered, co-opted and carried out by a bloodthirsty mob led by godless satanic heathens who sowed the seed for the widespread degeneracy of the modern world in the name of rationalism, humanism and freedom. Hell really is paved with man's best intentions.
>>3971177 Now that the dust has settled, and the results of the French Revolution have played out, we can all accept that aristocracy is not just the superior system of governance, but a necessary one.
>>3970891 imagine cooking warm meals for him and reading books together and discussing them with him and tucking him into bed at night with a kiss on the cheek while you run your fingers through his soft wavy hair then telling him how much you love him before heading to sleep to prepare for another day of loving him and teaching him and answering his innocent questions and watching him learn and grow haha
>>3970128 Those poor boys. Supposedly the older one escaped, lived, and was able to prove it, but it got swept under the rug by the Papacy for some reason. He didn't even want the throne of England anymore. He just wanted everybody to know he was okay.
>>3971447 It was the younger brother, Richard of Shrewsbury, that had people claiming to be him. In both cases it was opponents of Henry VII using a kid who was almost certainly not the real prince to try to claim the throne. The elder brother, Edward V, had been known to be sick during his imprisonment, so everyone figured that he had died even if there had been no foul play. But it's pretty certain that neither of them escaped. Their disappearance and the assumption that they had been murdered were troublesome rallying cries against Richard III, so if he could have produced any evidence or testimony that could have lessened the suspicion that he was a kinslayer, he would have. His reign was also cut incredibly short by having his head split open, which I'm inclined to believe was divine retribution for what he'd done.
this guy (takabatake kasho) made a lot of art similar to picrel and he gives me the impression he was a huge boylover. he drew a bunch of covers for japanese children's magazines in the 1910s-20s and it's very easy to tell this was likely the primordial soup out of which anime would eventually come to emerge from.
>>3971354 Mowgli and the king's ankus? I read that story a few months ago, Disney really brainwashed me. The story becomes absolutely better if Mowgli was nude all along.
>>4014840 >>4014876 >>4018854 This guy has some really good art. Why are the French so good at drawing cute boys? I tried looking up Norman Rockwell art of boy scouts because I heard that he was the American equivalent. I was so disappointed by what I found.
>>4039427 The French adapted books such as Tom Sawyer and David Daniell's children's books published under the Librairie Hachette. Pierre Joubert and other boy artists did illustration work for Signe De Piste which published books specifically targeted towards boys about scouting and other youthful fantastical adventures. Pic related is Erik Juszezak.
>>4040291 Amusingly, it was very successful and considered one of the peaks of the company's pre prohibition advertising. "Elevating" the brand and beer in general in the American consciousness or so the company history says. I guess nearly bare twinks really wet the turn of the century American man's appetite for beer.
It was even fondly remembered enough to be reprint on a bunch of tacky bricabrac through the mid to late 20th century. Though the cowards made the bottle bigger to hide their shame Here's a tray, but there was also a plate and some of those tacky steins Oddly given the censorship, the ganymede in the rework looks younger.
Another ganymede, this one is part of the "Lyric Poetry" series of murals by Henry Oliver Walker located in the Jefferson building of the Library of Congress
