  • Ephemera Journal Vol 18 Issue 2
    THE EPHEMERA JOURNAL VOLUME 18, NUMBER 2 JANUARY 2016 Bicycle Trade Catalogs BY TALIA S. COUTIN Before the ‘Bicycle Boom’ the bicycle was a luxury item with limited reach but, by 1896, America was home to an estimated four million “wheelmen” and “wheelwomen.” How and why did bicycles take the country by storm? The ‘Golden Age of the Bicycle’ coincided with the ‘Golden Age of Advertising Art.’ Austin Charles Bates, a pioneering adman of the time, estimated that bicycle firms spent more than one billion dollars in 1897. “And yet it paid,” he wrote. “Everyone was bicycle crazy...” Images of wheelmen and wheelwomen appeared everywhere in print, including on products that had nothing to do with bicycling. They graced posters and postcards, magazine covers and cigarette labels, sheet music and card decks – advertising bicycling, if not a particular bicycle brand. Through trade catalogs, companies tried to distinguish their brands with clever copy and alluring graphic designs. Companies spoke directly to consumers, offering them commercial art they could keep. Examining the material, visual, and textual aspects of catalogs from two of America’s leading bicycle manufacturers, the Overman Wheel Company and the Pope Manufacturing Company, reveals how advertising strategies developed between 1881 and 1899 to whet the consumer appetite for bicycles. A beautiful nymph with spaghetti hair gazes behind a screen in a wildly verdant setting that has nothing to do with bicycles. The competing linear and the curvilinear elements define the unique Art Nouveau style of graphic artist Will H. Bradley, who also designed posters for the Overman Wheel Co.

    THE EPHEMERA JOURNAL VOLUME 16, NUMBER 2 JANUARY 2014 Artistry in Letterpress and Engraving BY DAVID JURY The ambition of any craftsman was to become a ‘master’ of his trade. However, the idea that craftsmanship might, at its best, result in something that others instinctively call ‘art’ has always remained the unspoken goal.

  • Collecting in the Digital Age International Collectors Survey by AXA ART
    COLLECTING IN THE DIGITAL AGE International Collectors Survey by AXA ART Results of a worldwide empirical study www.axa-art.de AXA ART Insurance / 2014 INTRODUCTION For more than fifty years, AXA ART has been insuring works of art and other objects of value. Over the decades, we have accompanied collectors from around the world. We have learnt about their attitudes towards collecting, and we strive to be aware of their interests and concerns. All in all, we felt at home within the collectors’ community – until the Internet started to change their habits. We became curious and conducted several dozen long, face-to-face interviews with collectors. The issues which emerged from these dialogues – whilst still hypothetical – were used as the basis for a worldwide online survey. In terms of participation and results, the responses are remarkable; they have been compiled in this publication. Due to the chosen online approach, there is a certain bias in the results, as all communication took place via the Internet. It became evident that the worldwide community of collectors is changing, and that such change is partly driven by the Internet. We hope you find the results as interesting as we did and that you can also benefit from understanding these changing behaviours.

  • Productivity Orientation and the Consumption of Collectable Experiences
    Productivity Orientation and the Consumption of Collectable Experiences ANAT KEINAN RAN KIVETZ This research examines why consumers desire unusual and novel consumption experiences and voluntarily choose leisure activities, vacations, and celebrations that are predicted to be less pleasurable. For example, consumers sometimes choose to stay at freezing ice hotels and to eat at restaurants serving peculiar foods, such as bacon ice cream. We propose that such choices are driven by consumers’ continual striving to use time productively, make progress, and reach accomplishments (i.e., a productivity orientation). We argue that choices of col- lectable (unusual, novel, extreme) experiences lead consumers to feel productive even when they are engaging in leisure activities as they “check off” items on an “experiential check list” and build their “experiential CV.” A series of laboratory and field studies shows that the consumption of collectable experiences is driven and intensified by a (chronic or situational) productivity orientation. Man is so made that he can only find relaxation We propose that consumers are attracted to these activities from one kind of labor by taking up another. and products because they view them as opportunities to col- (Anatole France) lect new experiences and build their “experiential CV.” We explain this phenomenon by the continual striving of many Finally, a to-do list you’ll really want to do.

  • Representations of Hiv/Aids in Popular American Comic Books, 1981- 1996
    REPRESENTATIONS OF HIV/AIDS IN POPULAR AMERICAN COMIC BOOKS, 1981- 1996 William Richard Avila A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2021 Committee: Jeffrey Brown, Advisor Michael Decker Graduate Faculty Representative William Albertini Timothy Messer-Kruse © 2021 William Richard Avila All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeffery Brown, Advisor From 1981-1996, the United States experienced an epidemic of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS) that held profound implications for issues ranging from civil rights, public education, and sexual mores, to government accountability, public health, and expressions of heterosexism. Popular comic books that broached the subject of HIV/AIDS during the U.S. epidemic elucidate how America’s discourse on the disease evolved in an era when elected officials, religious leaders, legal professionals, medical specialists, and average citizens all struggled to negotiate their way through a period of national crisis. The manner whereby comic book authors, illustrators, and publishers engaged the topic of HIV/AIDS changed over time but, because comic books are an item of popular culture primarily produced for a heterosexual male audience, such changes habitually mirrored the evolution of the nation’s mainstream, heteronormative debates regarding the epidemic and its sociocultural and political implications. Through studying depictions of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in popular comic books, alterations in the heterocentric, national discourse emerge revealing how homophobic dismissals of the “gay plague” in the early 1980s gave way to heterosexual panic in the mid-1980s, followed by the epidemic’s reinterpretation as a national tragedy in the late-1980s.

  • Thesaurus of Ephemera Terms
    Thesaurus of Ephemera Terms Barbara Morris Centre for Ephemera Studies November 2013 Department of Typography & Graphic Communication University of Reading Thesaurus of ephemera terms 1 Introduction This thesaurus is a project of the Centre for Ephemera Studies, based in the Department of Typography & Graphic Communication at the University of Reading. It is in some measure a follow up to the publication of the Encyclopedia of Ephemera, and had its inception in the realisation that the Encyclopedia, written by Maurice Rickards and edited by Michael Twyman, Amoret Tanner and Sally de Beaumont, was being used in ways for which it was not intended. The anticipated audience for this thesaurus is not primarily individual collectors but museums and other organisations which are becoming increasingly interested in ordering and cataloguing their ephemera. It is hoped that it may help in answering the question “What should I call this?” Work on the thesaurus has been based on the collections of the Centre for Ephemera Studies particularly the Maurice Rickards Collection which forms the basis of the Centre’s material. Rickards believed that studying ephemera could contribute to an understanding both of social history and of the development of printing and graphic design; and the items in the collection illustrate this, covering a wide range of subjects and genres, rather than focussing on large collections of specific types of artefact. 2 Scope 2.1 Genre/format terms Genre / format terms form the basic content of the thesaurus. They include not only printed ephemera but manuscript, typed and some born digital items. Digital equivalents already exist for many of the categories defined here, and no doubt many more will be produced in the future, but the thesaurus does not include digital items for which there are no hard copy equivalents.
