The Postcard
A saucy postcard published by Kardorama of Potters Bar - Tel. 52781.
The distinctive style of the artwork is by Mags, and the card states on the back that it was printed in Great Britain.
The card was posted in Lymington on Saturday the 31st. July 1971 to:
Mr. & Mrs. E. Scott & Family,
6, Battle Close,
Speen,
Newbury,
Berks.
The message on the back of the card was as follows:
"Enjoying lovely weather.
Caravan is very nice - 6 berths.
Met Sheila (Newport) & Pat
Bennett today, so spent the
day on the beach with them.
The girls were pleased.
See you soon,
Love,
Pat, Gordon, Helen & Jackie".
Apollo 15
So what else happened on the day that the card was posted?
Well, on the 31st. July 1971, Apollo 15 astronauts David Scott and James Irwin become the first to ride in a lunar rover, a day after landing on the Moon.
Woohoo! My first officially published pictures. They made it into the August 2010 edition of "The Lutheran" magazine.
It's a nice article that involves an excellent feature about my friends at Humble Walk.
You can see the whole set here. And I'll also try to link to the issue when it's online. Otherwise head to you local Lutheran dealer to pickup your own copy.

Published in 1594 in Heidelberg by Hieronymus Commelinus. The Leicester Municipal Technical and Art School and its successors collected a small set of early printed books. These were not needed for the information contained within them, which in most of the volumes does not relate to subjects taught at the Schools. Rather, the objects themselves were of interest – the paper, the typography, the binding and the leather working. These subjects were all taught at the Schools.

Minnehaha Park (Minneapolis)
Minnehaha Park is a 170 acre (69 ha) city park in Minneapolis which is home to Minnehaha Falls and the lower reaches of Minnehaha Creek. It is part of the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board system, and lies within the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, a unit of the National Park Service.
The park was designed by the landscape architect Horace W. S. Cleveland in 1883 as part of the Grand Rounds Scenic Byway system, and was part of the popular steamboat Upper Mississippi River "Fashionable Tour" in the 1800's.
The park preserves historic sites that illustrate transportation, pioneering, and architectural themes. Preserved structures include the Minnehaha Princess Station and a Victorian train depot built in the 1870's.
Also in the park is the John H. Stevens House, built in 1849 and moved to the park from its original location in 1896, utilizing horses and 10,000 school children; as well as the Longfellow House, a house built to resemble Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's house in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The park was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969 as the Minnehaha Historic District in recognition of its state-level significance in architecture, commerce, conservation, literature, transportation, and urban planning.
-- Minnehaha Falls
The central feature of the park, Minnehaha Falls, was a favorite subject of pioneer photographers, beginning with Alexander Hesler's daguerreotype in 1852.
Although he never visited the park, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow helped to spread the waterfall's fame when he wrote his celebrated poem, The Song of Hiawatha.
The falls are located on Minnehaha Creek near the creek's confluence with the Mississippi River, near Fort Snelling. More than 850,000 people visit Minnehaha Falls each year, and it continues to be the most photographed site in Minnesota.
-- Gardens and Skunk Cabbage
Gardens in the upper park area include Longfellow Gardens, Minnehaha Falls Pergola Garden, and the Song of Hiawatha Garden.
The lower glen area offers examples of a surprisingly large number of trees that are native to Minnesota including basswood, black ash, maples, oaks, willows, and cottonwoods.
Unusual plants include the first spring-blooming plant, skunk cabbage, often blooming so early that temperatures are still freezing and snow may still be on the ground.
As the name implies, they have a disagreeable odor except to the various insects that prefer to feed on rotting flesh or dung.
By consuming carbohydrates stored in its fleshy roots, skunk cabbages can maintain a temperature inside the spathe that is 15–35 degrees warmer than the surrounding air temperature. The warmth helps attract cold-blooded, early-emerging pollinating insects during early spring when temperatures are still chilly.
As the spathe dies back, large, showy leaves emerge which die back by mid-August, making the plant difficult to find in late summer.
-- Minnehaha Park Statues
Statues in the park include a bronze sculpture of Hiawatha and Minnehaha, by Jacob Fjelde depicting Hiawatha carrying Minnehaha.
It was originally created in plaster to be exhibited in 1893, and cast in bronze and erected at the park in 1912.
Other statues commemorate several notable figures, including:
-- John H. Stevens, the first authorized resident on the west bank of the Mississippi River in what would become Minneapolis. He was granted permission to occupy the site, then part of the Fort Snelling military reservation, in exchange for providing a ferry service to St. Anthony across the river.
-- A statue of Swedish musician and poet Gunnar Wennerberg was placed in the park in 1915.
-- A mask of Dakota leader Taoyateduta (Little Crow) was placed overlooking the falls in 1992.
A fascinating textbook on Outdoor Advertising - "its function in modern advertising and marketing" published in 1953 and claiming to be the first such volume published since Cyril Sheldon's 1916 "Billposting" that had been reissued in 1927. The book considers, in three sections, the practical production of advertising including the contractor, agent and designer; a second looking at application of planning and selection of advertising type and location including the impact of the then new planning laws and, finally, research into target audiences for various campaigns.
The book has numerous illustrations including a series of uncredited sketches showing aspects of advertising in the 'townscape' as well as various reproductions of poster artwork.
Cadbury's Bourn-Vita was the company's 'answer' to Ovaltine and Horlicks, a chocolate/cocoa based drink promoted as an aid to restful sleep. This page looks at how a continuing theme in press advertising can lead to a more minimalist approach due to product recognition. The sleepy mug and night hat was available in real life as a moulded earthenware mug and plastic 'cap' and indeed I still have an example. The main poster is by "Clynick".

Comics Legend Milt Gross
By Michael Vance
Many consider Milt Gross one of the most "original and inimitably individual talents" in the history of American comic strips.
Born in 1885, Gross began drawing when he was twelve years old. By his death in 1953, the cartoonist had created an impressive body of work.
Nize Baby, Gross’s first full page comic strip, was published in the New York World newspaper syndicated 1927-1929). However, the off beat antics of this oddball baby and Looy Dot Dope was discontinued by Gross for Count Screwloose of Toolose.
In 1929. Count Screwloose began syndication and continued at the bottom or top of his main Sunday strip until 1934 when the Count and cad joined the company of Dave's Delicatessen.
These three and That 's My Pop! ('30s) are his best remembered comic strips. One would often flow into another of his comic strips and repeat some of his same cast members. It seemed at times, that his strips used names only for convenience.
Gross’s creations were always daffy and wildly creative, and included two dozen books of funny doggerel verse, often in Yiddish dialect, and films that sprang from his crazy imagination.
His scant comic book appearances included: Milt Gross Funnies (two issues, '47, distributed through ACG) and the features "Pete the Pooch" and “The Kiddy Katty Korner" (various ACG titles).
Gross was a staff artist in 1913 for the American Press Association. Beginning in 1915, he created Henry Peck, A Happy Married Man (NY Evening Journal), Banana Oil ('30s), and books: Hiawatha, Nize Baby ('26), Dunt Esk (’27), De Night In De Front from Chreesmas (’27), He Done Her Wrong, Famous Fimmales Witt Odder Ewents from Heestory (’28). He was also a Hollywood scenario writer.
The work of Milt Gross is highly recommended for all ages.
Some older comics are expensive and difficult to locate. Price guides or comics dealers help. Comics shops, conventions, mail order companies and trade journals are best sources. Prices vary shop around.

Charlotte Silver the American journalist based in the Palestinian West Bank has published an article on Aljazeera titled ‘Will Monsanto destroy Mexico's corn?’ discussing the introduction of GE corn to Mexico would sound the death knell for the country's precious ecology. Silver states “When GE corn was introduced in the mid-90s, Mexico was inhospitable to the new-fangled crop. The country's National Biosecurity Commission established a (non-legally binding) moratorium on genetically engineered corn in 1998 as a means to safeguard what is considered to be the planet's cradle of maize cultivation. Corn has been carefully tended in Mexico for eight millennia and environmental conservationists report that thousands of peasant varieties are still grown throughout the country. With an estimated 75 per cent of the planet's biodiversity vanished as of 1995, Mexico's heterogeneous corn fields are a rare vestige of the age prior to the "Green Revolution" era that is responsible for the artificially and unhealthily homogenous industrial agriculture that is prevalent now. Introducing GE corn to Mexico would sound the death knell for this precious ecology as it is widely agreed that GE crops cannot co-exist with conventionally bred seeds. Despite institutional protections against GE corn, neoliberal policies have already enabled certain strains of GE corn to intermingle with Mexican maize… Thousands of tonnes of corn that began inundating Mexico from, primarily, the US (mostly for non-human consumption) after the signing of NAFTA in 1994 ensured that the promiscuous plant's pollen blew onto the pristine fields of small farms. As of today, it is estimated that at least one per cent of Mexico's corn has traces of GE. But perhaps of more immediate threat to the magnificent biodiversity of Mexico's maize is the country's politicians' willingness to succumb to the pressure of big biotech companies. …As long as politicians do not stand up for the health of their citizens or their land, biotech companies will reap profits in the grim wake of human and ecological destruction.“ Inspired by Aljazeera ow.ly/gdJyl image source Twitter ow.ly/gdJT9

"Oh, BABY, it's cold outside..."
A tail gunner's nightmare... nothing worse than being blinded trying to peer through the contrails as the FWs are climbing up line abreast, ready to pick YOU out of the lineup...
Most people don't realize that the losses we suffered with the 14 October 1943 Schweinfurt raid - 60 B-17s - were no worse than the casualties sustained in the late summer/fall of 1944 and into early 1945. We still suffering substantial losses in any given day's sorties - it's just that we were putting up so many MORE bombers in an attack - 1000+ - that the percentage of losses didn't seem as bad.

The Postcard
A postally unused carte postale published by A. Papeghin of Tours.
Papeghin
Papeghin of Paris and Tours was a publisher of mainly black and white and monochrome collotype postcards between 1900 and 1931.
The firm's output largely depicted local views of amusement areas and sporting events, including the Olympics. Most of the subjects found on their cards were centred around Paris. In fact they published a photo book of Paris in 1919.
Chaumont
The name Chaumont derives from the French chauve mont, meaning "bald hill". The first castle on this site, situated between Blois and Amboise, was built by Odo I, Count of Blois, in the 10th century, with the purpose of protecting his lands from attacks from his feudal rivals.
On his behalf the Norman Gelduin received it, improved it and held it as his own. His great-niece Denise de Fougère, having married Sulpice d'Amboise, passed the château into the Amboise family for five centuries.
Pierre d'Amboise unsuccessfully rebelled against King Louis XI, and his property was confiscated, and the castle was dismantled on royal order in 1465. It was later rebuilt by Charles I d'Amboise from 1465–1475 and then finished by his son, Charles II d'Amboise de Chaumont from 1498–1510, with help from his uncle, Cardinal Georges d'Amboise.
The château was acquired by Catherine de Medici in 1560. There she entertained numerous astrologers, among them Nostradamus. When her husband, Henry II, died in 1559 she forced his mistress, Diane de Poitiers, to exchange Château de Chaumont for Château de Chenonceau which Henry had given to de Poitiers.
In 1594, at the death of Diane's granddaughter Charlotte de la Marck, the château passed to her husband, Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, Duke of Bouillon, who sold it to a tax farmer Largentier, who had grown rich on gathering in the salt tax called the gabelle. Largentier eventually being arrested for peculation, the château and the title of Sieur de Chaumont passed into a family originating at Lucca, who possessed it until 1667, when it passed by family connections to the seigneurs de Ruffignac.
Paul de Beauvilliers, Duc de Beauvilliers and later Duc de Saint-Aignan, bought the château in 1699, modernized some of its interiors and decorated it with sufficient grandeur to house the Duc d'Anjou on his way to become King of Spain in 1700.
His eventual heir was forced to sell Chaumont to pay his debts to a maître des requêtes ordinaire to Louis XV, Monsieur Bertin, who demolished the north wing built by Charles II d'Amboise and the Cardinal d'Amboise, to open the house towards the river view in the modern fashion.
In 1750, Jacques-Donatien Le Ray purchased the castle as a country home where he established a glassmaking and pottery factory. He was considered the French "Father of the American Revolution" because he loved America. However, in 1789, the new French Revolutionary Government seized Le Ray's assets, including his beloved Château de Chaumont.
The Comte d'Aramon bought the neglected château in 1833 and undertook extensive renovations under the architect Jules Potier de la Morandière of Blois, who was later inspector of the works at the château de Blois.
M. d'Aramon installed a museum of medieval arts in the "Tour de Catherine de Médicis". By 1851 the "Chaumont suite" of early-16th century Late Gothic tapestries with subjects of country life emblematic of the triumph of Eternity, closely associated with Chaumont and now at the Cleveland Museum of Art, was still hanging in the "Chambre de Catherine de Médicis"; the tapestries had been cut and pieced to fit the room.
The castle has been classified as a Monument Historique since 1840 by the French Ministry of Culture.
Marie-Charlotte Say, heiress to the Léon Say sugar fortune, acquired Chaumont in 1875. Later that year, she married Amédée de Broglie, who commissioned the luxurious stables in 1877 to designs by Paul-Ernest Sanson.
He further restored the château under Sanson's direction, and replanted the surrounding park in the English naturalistic landscape fashion. Marie-Charlotte donated the Château de Chaumont to the French government in 1938.
The Château de Chaumont is currently a museum, and every year hosts a Garden Festival from April to October where contemporary garden designers display their work in an English-style garden.
