Inflammammal Loves Paper Ephemera

Largely food-related, but any beautiful old illustration from oh 'bout 1910 to 1955 or so. All items on this page are from my own collection, unless otherwise stated.

One of my older pieces is this 1904 booklet advertising Baker brand cocoa.  The cover's beautifully embossed, and the illustrations inside are luxe - those plates and doilies!  Desserts and the sweets were often called "dainties" at this point, and they were that.
