Architecture: UFO in the Suburbs
In the 50s this UFO landed and stuck in between two buildings in the Stockholm suburb Råcksta. Photo by Libby who runs the blog Femtiotalsjakten (my translation: "In Search of the 50s") - it's in Swedish but you might like it just the same...

Poster Art: BR
Via Coudal Partners I found the Old Railway Posters Flickr pool and these nice British Railways posters from, I guess, the 50s or possibly the 60s. For better or for worse I've done some retouching just to clean them up a bit. If anyone has the information on who made them and when, I'm interested... (Update 1: we have the information on the bottom poster - see below it - thanks to the very helpful Kickcan & Conkers. I wouldn't be surprised if the top one was made by the same artist in the same year.// Update 2: Crownfolio of the Quad Royal blog has found the information about the top poster - see below it. Thank you!!)
