French Canadian 1940’s Illustration

I have finally found out who made these incredible images. I first saw them on the wall of a small bakery in Riviere du Loup in Quebec. The woman said they were from a language teaching book and she used them when she was a child to learn English. They are by Albert Filteau and Charles Villeneuve and the children in the book are called John and Mary. I have had some postcards made (for personal use) of the nicest ones.
