Vintage Design: Expo 67













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.

Illustration: Vintage Stockholm







Images of Stockholm
or rather details of images found at the Institut Cartogràfic de Catalunya site. It is possible to register and download the full size images but I thought it would be pretty interesting to see what I could capture without doing so. So this is the result.

The site was found via BibliOdyssey

Vintage Photos: Gas & Bear


Two very interesting photos

posted by tpoe4nuk to LiveJournal - Vintage Photographs

The uploader about the first one: "Gas Attack Rehearsal in USSR, near Leningrad 1937, photographer - Victor Bulla".
About the second: "Don't know if this photo is original or fake... just came across it..."

My own reflection: The bear = Russia?
