A thing of beauty is a joy forever:

Its loveliness increases;

John Keats, 1795 – 1821

I am very pleased to welcome you to this site which concentrates on early printing and also has some pages for children (of all ages).

Across all The Ephemera Album sites are displayed artists illustrations from printed paper matter spanning 4 centuries. A resource and inspiration for artists, illustrators and designers as well as other ephemerists.

Or just plain eye-candy for the curious. Mmmm….. Pure nostalgia!!

About me

I have spent a lifetime acquiring paper collectibles: postcards, cigarette cards, old adverts and packaging -virtually anything on any theme. Not specialising gives me a broad based knowledge.

I have ended up with a collection of differing quality right up to what I regard as really top range stuff. The lesser items are a yardstick with which to measure the quality of other items, they lift up the better to a place of prominence.

Now, be my guest and sit back and enjoy!!

Thanks, Bernie
