1970's Czech Greetings Gard

This sweet 70's greetings card looks like it's screen-printed with individual pieces of material lovingly cut out and stuck on by hand. Found in Prague, Czech Republic.

I liked this cute character illustration on this Czech postcard from the 70's. It came from a whole range depicting the star signs, with this wee guy representing the Scorpio Scorpion, (albeit a fairly docile one who likes frolicking with daisies and wearing bowler hats)

Found in Prague, Czech Republic.

1970's ESP book

Superb example of psychedelic design on this tripped out cover. Published in 1973 by Peter Pauper Press. Found in a gigantic yellow bookshop in Llangollen, North Wales.

ABOUT ME

I am a London based creator, curator, organiser and explorer.

Kuriosas is my portal for cherishing, celebrating and archiving obscure artefacts, vintage graphics, people and places I come across, probing into design history and musing over visual culture from the past and present.

I have a background as a dealer in vintage homewares and ephemera and co-organise North London Vintage Market in Crouch End, North London

I take Street Portraits for my other blog The Luminous Eye which celebrate the style, spirit and stories of unique older people. My photographs have been featured by The Guardian, The School of Life and Pan Macmillan.
