Uncut sheet from 1972 Image Bank Post Card Show

Object Description

Item is an uncut sheet of 16 postcards for the Image Bank Post Card Show. It is double-sided, with  images on recto in black ink, and the postcard format printed on verso, in blue ink. The postcard backs alternately use the words "THE IMAGE BANK POST CARD SHOW" or "CANADAS NATIONAL MAGAZINE" to create a divided back, with additional text and images different on each card, including text or images for stamp boxes. The 16 postcards include 6 postcards with composite panoramic images of a beach on the recto, and poetic texts handwritten on the verso of each. The remaining 10 postcards are: two postcards by Alan Lindenfeld, a photograph of a woman and apparently dominating a bound man, and a grid of stamped dromedaries; "pacific documentary armchair" by Dallas Selman; two photographs of a young man apparently plain-air painting, titled "Flakey 1954–New Era Social Club"; a collage attributed to John Silvermouse, with text "his brazen mail / Longfellow" on verso; a photograph titled "Did You Ever?" by Morris/Lewis; a cartoon image titled "Kisses" by Jon Clinch; a drawing captioned "RAINBOW TROUT HEAD / #5" by Robert Fish; a photographic collage by May Wilson; a reproduction of a newspaper clipping, with an image and text reporting on a transcontinental trip sponsored by the Motion Picture Producers Association, undertaken in a car eventually covered in more than 600 signatures of Hollywood personalities, unattributed and titled "camp works" on the verso.
