An interesting series of tourist leaflets for locations and regions of the British Isles and possibly issued under the guidance of the Travel & Industrial Development Association of Great Britain and Ireland although several in the series are shown as being issued by more local organisations. They are undated but the contents and style appear to place them in the 1930s and indeed that accords with a pre- and post-WW2 period when the UK's overseas travel organisations issued many photogravure black and white publicity items - cheaper than colour and to an extent showcasing the possiblities of quality of reproduction using this process. These leaflets, many of which are printed by the Curwen Press in London with others by the Withy Grove Press of Manchester, make interesting use of quite modern typefaces to add to the ephemeral interest. No designers are credited and they feelwith their mostly photographic contentto have been designed and set out to make the best possible use of the typographer.
This leaflet covers the "Graden of England" and "Where England Began" - East Kent. It covers the major attraction of Canterbury as well as the many seaside resorts that are dotted around the caost of the English Channel and Thames Estuary. The leaflet also has a section on motor coach services, highlighting local operator the East Kent Road Car Company as well as a page highlighting the ferry crossings to the Continent and the role of the Souther Railway of England in operating the many ferry and connectional railway services.
The leaflet is printed at the Curwen Press in Plaistow, London and for the East Kent Chamber of Commerce. However it follows the generic pattern of the other leaflets issued by the TIDAGB. The headings appear ot be set in Maximilian typeface.

This leaflet for the East Midlands and the adjacent Peak District and includes the counties of Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and over towards the North Sea Coast and the cathedral cities of Peterborough and Boston. The text covers areas such as Dovedale and the Peaks as wells as towns and cities including Matlock, Lincoln, Leicester, Nottingham, Boston and Skegness. It makes much of the links to 'early' American 'settlement' found in ths area. Printed at the Curwen Press in Plaistow this was issued by the Association and notes the various offices of travel agents, shipping companies and railway offices in the US and Canada.

I will always have a fondness for this era of Pentaxes—where the lens mount is visibly held down with four flat-bladed-screw heads—because one of the simplest was my first SLR, a hand-me-down from my dad. I've never gotten to mess with any of the self-timer "V" models (allegedly "Vorlaufwerk" from German). But I do have that 55mm f/2 lens!
An odd moment in the early 1960s where some brainiac thought Canon needed the help of a trusted American brand to make inroads into our market. Of course Canon is now the largest camera manufacturer in the world and Bell & Howell ended up on skid row.
I've always had a curiosity about the XD-11, likely the most desirable Minolta SLR ever made in the manual-focus era. But I've been pretty happy whenever I've taken out the XG9.
This is the US-market version of the Topcon RE-2, distributed by Beseler.
At this time Nikon and Topcon were the brands offering TTL, open-aperture metering SLR systems. (Future rival Canon still had external-meter-cell SLRs.)
Like Nikon with its Nikkormat, the Beseler Topcon D-1 omits interchangeable prisms and motor-drive coupling in order to bring these metering advantages down to a more accessible price point. In fact the list prices of the two models are suspiciously identical.
The title of "Exakta presents… " may cause a little confusion.
The Praktisix had originally been developed by KW, who by this time had been absorbed into VEB Kamera und Kinowerke Dresden—soon to become Pentacon.
But Ihagee, makers of Exaktas, were at this time still independent.
The explanation is that the Bronxville, New York, company founded by expat Max WIrgin (of the Gebrüder Wirgin family) were official importers of a whole range of cameras including Edixa (unsurprisingly) but also Exakta and Praktica. Perhaps "Exakta" was the brand carrying the most prestige and so is used here.
Eventually, there would be a much-modified descendant of this camera under recycled Exakta branding.
A very significant development for the evolution of 35mm SLRs, Tokyo Kogaku (Topcon) introduced true through-the-lens (TTL) exposure metering in its model the Topcon RE Super. For distribution in the USA, importer Charles Beseler (the enlarger company) changed this model's branding to Topcon Super D.
Confusingly, when Tokyo Kogaku updated this model in 1971, they gave the new model the designation Super D worldwide.
The TTL method was ingenious, with a pattern of fine lines on the reflex mirror without silvering which allowed light to pass through to metering cells behind. While this robbed a tiny amount of light from the finder image, the lines themselves were out of focus and undetectable. This approach was favored by Topcon as they wished to preserve one of their key selling points, the interchangeability of viewfinders.
The Tokyo Kogaku cameras sold in the US by Charles Beseler (the enlarger manufacturer) were all given changed model names. In other markets these three cameras were the RE Super, the Topcon RE-2, and the Topcon Uni.
Topcon is rightly proud of pioneering TTL metering, and gets in a few digs that their system takes readings at full aperture (unlike the stopdown metering of 1965's Pentax Spotmatic) and without needing to manually index the widest aperture of each new lens (as with Nikons of the time, or Miranda Sensorex).
Some of the other points are questionable (#8 is hard to understand) and #11 is downright deceptive: Topcon's CdS cells cannot read the 93% of the incoming light which is reflected upward to the viewfinder. Meter cells built into the pentaprism housing would soon prove to be system adopted by practically all SLR manufacturers.
A very targetted approach to marketing the East Coast Route - today's East Coast Main LIne - to a North American market; the Stars & Stripes draped with the Union Flag and the American eagle. The tourist leaflet was issued c.1910 and describes the main line express and sleeper car services that were jointly run by the three railway companies whose lines made up the East Coast route. There is also a brief description of the main 'sights' to be seen on the Great Northern, the North Eastern and the North British Railways separate sections of the line.
The map shows the main line north from London to Edinburgh via York as well as connections to Liverpool and Southampton (in connection with cross-Atlantic sailings) as well as line north of Edinburgh towards Aberdeen, Inverness and the West Coast.
Another result from the Bell & Howell / Canon co-branding arrangement announced in 1962. (See some other examples on Flickr.)
With the Canon FX, a new 'FL' series of lenses are introduced, as well as adding an external CdS meter cell which was the hot new feature of the era.
The style here is quite reminiscent of the Minolta SR-7 or the Yashica J-3 which came a couple of years earlier. The meter is coupled to the camera's shutter and ASA settings, but the f/stop indicated by a needle on the top deck must be manually transferred to the lens's aperture ring.
One more advanced feature here is the mirror lockup, needed to avoid fouling the rear elements of Canon's 19mm wide-angle, but also helpful to keep camera vibration to a minimum during exposures.
Another advertisement for the innovative Topcon through-the-lens metering system.
Amazingly this was already an open-aperture metering system (where the meter will factor in the selected aperture, even as the viewfinder remains at the brightest opening). In the subsequent decade quite a few camera brands would rely on more rudimentary stopdown metering, momentarily dimming the finder image.

I am guessing that this was once a 7-Eleven or Circle K but I am not sure which since it has been something else for some time.
This place is across the street from Lil Sambos restaurant (no relation to the defunct chain) on US Highway 101.
