Sometimes I just can't resist old paper ...
Books, magazines, advertisements that carry the atmosphere of days gone by. I've put some of my modest collection here:
Ephemera is the name for everything, throughout history, that appeared in print. If you would like to see more collections, you can visit:
Airline
Timetable Images
"A site devoted to the collecting of airline
timetables. Here you will find images of many timetables,
both old and new."
Air
Sickness Bag Virtual Museum
"One can tell a lot about an airline's image
from their Air Sickness Bags. Some barf bags are
no more than a baggie with a twist tie, while other
sickbags could win international design competitions.
Are they art? I think so. You decide."
Graphic
Design from the 1920s and 1930s in Travel Ephemera
"This is a virtual online gallery I've created
to display and share the best items in my collection
of 1920s and 1930s travel-related ephemera."
Kenny's
Old Time Model Airplane Magazine Home Page
"I like to read old flying model airplane
magazines from, say, 1935-1945. Sometimes I build
the models; sometimes I just look. Some of my models
fly; some just sit around and look good. Some I
never finish. To me, the fun is in floating through
the time machine and being absorbed into this fascinating
period of aviation, and world history."
The Ephemera
Society of America
"The Ephemera Society of America is a non-profit
organization formed in 1980 to encourage the preservation
and study of paper ephemera, to further the special interests
of ephemerists, and to serve as a link among collectors,
dealers, and scholars."
Virtual
Matchbox Labels Museum
"This site is dedicated to matchbox labels
and matchcovers - the small artworks that most of
us do not pay much attention to. But they reflect
our history, our likes and dislikes and sometimes
they are real artworks in themselves."
