Homemade bookmarks by Joy Williams. Trying out bookmark ideas. These two are the original pencil drawings laminated, next time I will try using prints. Joy Williams on Flickr
Two pull-out bookmarks from Germany of 1950s advertising the publishing house Schneider Verlag specialised in children books. These bookmarks were very popular among the children of that time and they are still popular among the bookmark collectors of today. They also show that public awareness for political correctness was not prominent at those days. Many thanks to our member Helga Moghaddam for sending the pictures and the information about these beautiful bookmarks.

ADVERTISING BOOKMARK FROM THE 19th CENTURY
