This illustration style is almost like vintage printed fabric toy patterns and thus has a strangely appealing simplicity, these precise illustrations are from Monique Partridge's  Child Education Quarterly, published in Spring 1962.

'Arthur, the Dolphin Who Didn't See Venice', written by John Malcolm, illustrated by André François (1915-2005), Published by Little Brown and Company, Boston, 1961. I think this book's illustrations have been created using oil pastel and watercolour washes. 

Zartians

 

It sounds like we have made our own Zartians in AI and drones.
