Expo 67
world fair in Montreal, Canada
You will find many links for Expo 67 sites at Wikipedia.
Here are a few sources I used for collecting the images:
Expo 67 postcard gallery, Expo 67 (un-)Official Guide, Expo 67 - a virtual experience, The Canadian Design Resource: Expo 67
Thank you all!
And finally, let me introduce Lillian Seymour. This lady visited Expo 67 and you can see her polaroid snapshots here.

Russian Book Jackets, 1917-1942. I bookmarked this some time ago and I believe I found it via Growabrain. If you think that NYPLDG's collection is too much to browse through here are nineteen of my favorites (recommended) and below they are shown, for the really lazy of you, in a picture-play.
Italian candy producer Leone has some great designs for their pastille box wrappers. The first one is absinthe flavor and is only one item in a range of products Leone makes with "the green fairy".
The "caffé" wrapper retro design made me think of the great Italian artist Fortunato Depero's brilliant advertising art.
