Star Weekly at War
We just received a few copies of the lavishly illustrated book, The Star Weekly at War, highlighting the best of the Toronto Star war art covers and articles from the Second World War years. A truly amazing compilation of wartime artwork from the Star pulled together and skillfully selected by a local Ottawa collector. Here is just a small sample of what can be found in the nearly 250pgs of high quality reproductions inside.
We also picked up a couple more copies of Thistle Xpress’ previous book, Ottawa: The Golden Years, which is an illustrated history of Ottawa’s Victorian Years through the Second World War, as seen through decades of ephemera found and cherished by a local collector. Inside you will find 385 pages containing over 2100 reproduced illustrations of stamps, postcards, currency, advertising, music sheets, tobacco cards, books, magazine covers and more. Again, here are a few samples from this beautiful collection of reproduced Ottawa epherema.
Either book can be purchased directly from us for $80.00 (just send me an e-mail) or can be found at our booth in the Ottawa Antique Market (1187 Bank St.).
