Olympic stamps / [edited by Kazimir Rapoša ; text by Tomaž Zajc ; translated by Martin Cregeen].

In honor of the upcoming summer Olympics, we here at Special Collections and Archives thought it would be fun to take a look back at previous Olympics through the miniature book Olympic Stamps! This book contains Olympic stamps dating all the way back to the 1800s.

Spanning many countries, including Finland, Mexico, and of course Greece. These stamps perfectly encapsulate their hosted summer or winter Olympics.

So take a look at these awesome stamps and get excited for the upcoming events (and hopefully a new, amazing stamp)!

Dear Tiny me

Thank you, tiny me

For helping me

Take care of me

I always forget to eat

Veggies and fruit

But shaped like a bunny

They'll taste so good

So hard to have enough to drink

But put in a sippy

Sparkly and pink

And you'll help me

Thank you, tiny me

For helping me

Take care of me

Happy #MiniatureMonday!

Happy #TinyTuesday!

昭和の豆テレビ [Shōwa no mame terebi], or Showa Era TV, is a 2013 miniature TV set created by the Japanese artist Fūdō. Nested inside the miniature TV are three miniature books. 

Japan’s Shōwa era was a political period corresponding with the reign of Emperor Shōwa. After World War II, Shōwa era television was heavily defined by the inclusion of kaiju, or monsters, and tokusatsu, or practical special effects. Popular franchises from this era include Godzilla and Ultraman. 

Fūdō explains in an insert accompanying the TV set that the post-war Showa era 30s and 40s (the mid-1950s to 1970s) “evoke a sense of nostalgia for many Japanese people, since it was the period of economic growth which dramatically changed their lifestyles.” The miniature books in this set depict symbolic objects from the daily lives of children of the Showa 30s and 40s.

We recently found this "dummy" for the @knollinc tabloid from the 1970s. The tabloid was meant to be a change from the sleek brochures of the 1960s and have an underground paper feel of the 1970s. It was also the first tabloid printed in four colors!

Our #TinyTuesday offering this week is too small for its own woodcuts, but no matter. We think they look just fine sideways, don't you?
