I've always loved the work of Wilhelm Staehle (the alter ego of designer Will Staehle) and came across them again while going through some of my old inspiration folders. The oh-so-proper illustrations mixed with beautifully hand-cut silhouettes are more than pleasing on the eyes, but mix in Wilhelm's dark humored wit and what you get is nothing short of perfection. I'm gonna love these forever...
