As many of you know.. this blog originates most of the time from Palm Beach Gardens, Florida. That’s about 230 miles south of St. Augustine, Florida which is the nations oldest city. In St. Augustine there are a number of attractions.. quite many actually, and of course Orlando and Disneyworld is not far away.
A blog entitled “Visual Ephemera” has posted a recent article about one of those attractions.. the La Leche Shrine. As the blog says,
“It is hard to visit St. Augustine and not be aware of the La Leche Shrine because it is marked by a 208 ft cross.”
The blog also has a large number of photos of the Shrine, both indoors and out. In terms of Ephemera, have a look at this brochure which is on the site.
I am sure there are many other Ephemera collectors out there who specialize in travel brochures or similar items. Tell us a bit about your collection. Is it strictly US related or have you expanded into International travel and attractions.
The one thing that always amazes me, and interests me.. is the diversity of Ephemera. There are so many different avenues and areas into which Ephemeral collections have gone. We have people who collect railroad ephemera… and some have restricted their collecting to just timetables, some have focused on railroad postcards, others have collections specific to Indian tribes, I even chatted with a man who focused only on ephemera related to a small company that once had it’s headquarters in his small, upstate NY town. Travel ephemera has so many different areas to explore… so drop me a line.. and tell me about YOUR specific collection or area of interest.
I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the Encore it deserves.
