I’ve mentioned the Ephemera Assemblyman before.. and I am continuously going back to Joel’s site to see what he has uncovered of late.
I don’t know much about him other than that he is a student in Davis, CA. UC Davis perhaps?
Today I found a wonderful collection of some 15 “Slovenian Event Posters” on his site. The one to the left particularly caught my eye, perhaps because of the lovely smiles on the faces of the children.
His site tells us that this was from a Soft Drinks Exhibition in Ljubljana back in 1954. At that time of course Slovenia was part of the Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia. It gained its independence in 1991 and is now part of the European Union.
Ljubljana is the capital of Slovenia and its largest city. It’s located in the center of the country and is a mid-sized city of some 270,000 inhabitants. It’s the cultural, scientific, economic, political and administrative center of Slovenia.
It’s worth noting that this is NOT the personal collection of Joel… but rather his uncovering of the massive collection at the fantastic Digital Library of Slovenia.
I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the encore it deserves.
