Suffragette poster, woodcut, 1913.
Modern reproduction, 1973, purchased (by me) at the Victoria & Albert Museum sometime in the 1970s.

A new addition to my vaccination certificates collection, from 1946, issued to a black, brown and white terrier named Maggie.
Something very poignant about these but also rabies vaccination tags. Like the dogs are saying "we were here."

Parting shot as I sign off for the weekend. @archive.org is a starkly essential resource and one that was already under fire. Support them. They are real people with a weird warehouse in the East Bay and scanners and piles of media to not lose.

Leviathan luggage tag, New York, ca. 1930.
With a crew of over 1,000, the Leviathan was one of the largest passenger ships that crossed the Atlantic during its main run between 1922 and 1934.

Is it smirking at me? Pareidolia (noun): the tendency to perceive a specific, often meaningful image in a random or ambiguous visual pattern; not be confused with paranoia ☺️

ridiculously good idea
I also like to use train tickets or postcards
or an odd scrap of paper that means something and leave it in it
that word #ephemera is so juicy
I recall an artist who’s practice was to find and create book ephemera

I want to keep a little better track of my reading, so I’m date-stamping my books when I buy them, then again when I finish reading them. I like books with ephemera and tis is my own little way of adding to their story. (Also, I really, really want a personal Ex-Libris plate)
