Here comes a new selection of Vintage ephemera... these are the ancestors of check ! They are all dated from 1928 as I buy an old ledger from this date on flea market... I use all the details, stamps, to compose my items such as the wood coasters.  I love the Banania one, french people will know why...

Some people want to see the Pyramids of Egypt or the Liberty Statue... me, I want to visit the Hamilton Wood Type & Printing Museum ! So, I need to post when I see on tweeter that they need to move soon... how can they move so much stuffs, heavy machine and giant letters... They need support from the design community !

 

If you do not know the place, a great DVD was made about it, you can see the trailer on youtube.

 

 

And some pictures found on the flickr :

I want to do this for a long time, but finaly prefer to keep it for the new Graphic exchange ;) I will share from time to time the thousand images of old paper, ephemera and other textures I have in my hard drive... I have " source" folder  where I store all these images, I jump into it when I start a new creation. Here come some of these images...
