 Movie Posters


This week Sepia Saturday bloggers are inspired to share photos inspired by this image of Marlene Dietrich . I went to the Library of Congress site to see what they have. Many of their images, even ones that should be public domain weren't available for download. I did find an assortment of photos with movie posters and some posters themselves.

    Your selections have a nice range of style and emotion. Don’t get involved with glamorous Gilda!

    Excellent idea to go one step removed from the movie photos. Those are great pictures -- and the Harold Lloyd clock poster and video is still hair-raising. Yikes!

    Great idea for the theme! Once upon a time, for those of us who remember, a movie poster was the main medium for attracting our attention to a film. Sadly that artform is gone and even the square image on a DVD box has disappeared too.

 It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas For this week's Sepia Saturday I thought I'd share photos from my visit to Old World Wisconsin. Last week a friend and I visited this historic site in Eagle, Wisconsin to see it's Christmas festivities. Old World Wisconsin is a place where they've gathered and restored buildings from the 19th Century. In December on the weekend's they're open to show visitors how Christmas was celebrated over 100 years ago.

They also brought kids up from the audience and they read "The Night Before Christmas." Ready for Christmas morning. This room is set up for a cobweb party. Each guest has a color of string and they have to unravel the string to get to their Christmas gift. I wonder what other kinds of parties they had back then. This l
