Photographica from the Victorian era is always a subject of fascination today. There are many types of subjects, from stiff and formal ladies to the more desirable military men to small, uncomfortable looking children. Exposure times of early photographic techniques were so long, a smile was impossible to hold. Cabinet photos on cardboard are an inexpensive way to peek through a window to the past. Pictured is a selection of the numerous ones available, with the price range of $7.00 to $15.00.

This is a lovely yard-long print of an Edwardian lady in soft pastel shades with lots of pink, framed and matted, and priced at $92.00. This particular print may have been advertising for Pompeian beauty products, but the exact origin is lost in time. Yard-long prints are a loosely defined area of collecting that encompasses many period lithographs, from stratospherically priced original Mucha to the more affordable classics like 'Yard of Pansies'. The advertising figurals are especially nice, and branch out into other areas of collecting like Cola and beer products.

Old books, from scientific studies to colorful children's books, are a great way to fill the bookcase. Books on science from the 1800s are amusing, too, since in almost all areas the information is so amazingly dated that it becomes fascinating once again. The children's book has beautiful black & white illustrations. From left, 'Origin of Civilisation' by Lubbock, regarding the mental & social condition of 'savages' c.1870, $135.00. 'Vacation Days' children's book, $30.00. 'A Visit to South America' book c.1878, $60.00.

World's Fair memorabilia is plentiful and many love to collect it. From '86 Vancouver Expo, to the ones almost a century before that, just about anything that was a promo for the World's Fairs is out there somewhere, since lots of people purchased or acquired souvenirs of their trip to the Expo. This board game is in fact a cross collectable, as there are plenty of people that accumulate old board games too. It's 14x10.5in from the 1964 World's Fair, $49.00 w/ some pieces missing.

Advertising memorabilia has something for everyone. It displays well in kitchens and around the house. Some advertising has become classified as fine art, even! And all the different soda pop and cola collectables are always a popular and well-documented area. 3.5x3in Cat's Paw heels box (heels inside), $11.00. 3.25x2in Bunte horehound cough drops, full of cough drops, $9.00. Pepsi bottle from the '30s, $125.00.

Life Magazines from a person's birthday or other special events are a much-requested area. Find the issue commemorating your special date here; this dealer has them from November 23 1936- December 1972. Prices vary. The one pictured is from 11/1/37 and is $26.00.
