Papergreat: Ephemera for Lunch #2: A boy and his pig

http://www.papergreat.com/2015/08/ephemera-for-lunch-2-boy-and-his-pig.html

More than 1,900 posts since 2010. Dive in and have fun exploring. Monday, August 10, 2015. Ephemera for Lunch #2:. A boy and his pig. This one is cool, because we don't get too many pigs here on Papergreat. There is no identifying information on the back of the photo, which is printed on Velox paper. I acquired this one in Shrewsbury. I can't quite read the looks on the faces of the boy and (presumably) his mother. Are they fond of the pig? 1 Previous pig-related posts:.

More than 1,900 posts since 2010. Dive in and have fun exploring. Sunday, August 9, 2015. Some Phillies Fever from the Bicentennial summer of 1976. The 2015 Philadelphia Phillies have gone from historically awful — a 29-60 start to the season — to inexplicably red-hot, winning 15 of their 20 games since Major League Baseball's All-Star break. So it's clearly a good time to recall some true "Phillies Fever" from 39 years ago, the era of "Can you dig it! Throw in Greg 'The Bull' Luzinski’s joke about...

More than 1,900 posts since 2010. Dive in and have fun exploring. Wednesday, August 27, 2014. Advertising card from Pottstown, Pa.: "Base Ball at our Picnic". I love the wonderful, exaggerated baseball illustration on this advertising card, which appears to be dated 1888. (The type is so tiny, though, that I'm not 100 percent sure of that.). Pennsylvania, at that time in the 19th century. In the lower-right corner are the words "GAST N.Y." I suppose that could be either the artist or the printer. Zita Sp...

More than 1,900 posts since 2010. Dive in and have fun exploring. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Ephemera for Lunch #3:. A cat and its pillow. Here's an adorable color snapshot from 30 years ago — February 1985 — that features a calico kitty leaning up against a napping dog. I have always wished that our cats and our dog Coby would have a friendship like this. Instead, the cats just steal Coby's dog bed and either ignore him or hiss at him. Posted by Chris Otto.
