  3. Fantastic! I've got a couple like this. I'm wondering: was there a big thing for elaborate masks for nippers during that period (and if so where did it come from?) or does the discovery of a few books just make it seem that way? I'm about the right age to have experienced it at the time but I can only remember doing the usual paper-mache-over-a-balloon job.

  5. I'll see what I can do, but I must confess I've been suffering from scanner fatigue for some time now. Buh!

  6. Oh wow. This has been a steady part of my inspiration/reference for many years! Have made most of them at this point (and, I'll admit, used the images for a few different posters here and there)...

  7. Hi Kate! Yeah, I could see some cool show fliers being made out of these.
