Time Travel Tuesday

Super Paper Queen Tumblr

Brown Paper Bag began as a way to feature works on paper (and more, of course). I recently discovered a Tumblr that shares this same love – Super Paper Queen. Its tagline is similar to this blog,  “passion for paper ephemera,” and the Tumblr collects a myriad of types of images and printed matter.

In the spirit of Time Travel Tuesday, I’ve selected some favorites from Super Paper Queen, including book covers and illustrations from the middle of the 20th century. But, really, this Tumblr does an excellent job at range, mixing the contemporary and provocative with the classic and conservative.
