Place of origin |
An album of 59 bound pages of ruled paper mainly containing ephemera concerning outer space and space exploration. The album is covered in the Lunar Rocket fabric designed by Eddie Squires and manufactured by Warners in 1969. The contents include collecting cards, book covers, magazine pages, stamps, cartoons, food packaging, toy packaging, car and furniture advertisements (including one for the Djinn chair- see CIRC.202-1969), printed invitations, wrapping paper, stationery, postcards and sew-on clothes patches. Most of this material is contemporary with the album but some is from the middle decades of the twentieth century. The album also includes a few photographs of Eddie Squires, his drawings, collages and textile designs and original children's drawings.
