<TD class=rowthree>Popular History: Looking at 20th century Asia Through
Printed Ephemera <BR><BR>Talk by Elisabeth Burdon of oldimprints.com (of
Portland, Oregon, USA) at Asia Bookroom Saturday June 19 at 4pm
<BR><BR>Brightly colored tourist brochures, train schedules, maps,
political broadsides: items that we use in our daily lives but throw
away once they have fulfilled a discrete utilitarian function... these
items are wonderful sources for exploring "history on the ground," the
interests, attitudes and preoccupations of persons who are “at home” in
a particular society or merely “passing through” as visitors. It is only
quite recently that the richness of this type of material as tools for
cultural study has been widely recognised by libraries, researchers and
collectors alike. Come and find out more about this extraordinarily
fascinating social history resource and how attitudes to it have
changed. <BR><BR>Display and Sale of 20th Century Asian Ephemera
<BR><BR>Elisabeth Burdon of oldimprints.com (of Portland, Oregon, USA)
will be joining her sister Sally and mother Barbara Burdon at Asia
Bookroom on Saturday June 19th (from 12 noon) with a selection of her
stock of printed ephemera and illustrated maps. <BR><BR>Talk on Asian
Ephemera <BR><BR>At 4.30pm Elisabeth Burdon will give an informal talk
discussing examples of this material pertaining to late 19th and early
20th century Asia, including China, Japan and S.E. Asia. For a brief
illustrated introduction to the topic, please visit the "Collecting
Tips" page of oldimprints.com
<BR>www.oldimprints.com/OldImprints/collecting_tips.cfm or click the
More Details button below <BR><BR>We invite you to join us for
refreshments after the talk. <BR><BR>RSVP for the talk: By Friday June
18 to Asia Bookroom on 62515191 or
