Rosa Bonheur bookmark

From Women Making History: The Revolutionary Feminist Postcard Art of Helaine Victoria Press by Julia M. Allen and Jocelyn H. Cohen

  • Helaine Victoria Press printed 100s of thousands of bookmarks to be given away with mail orders and at conferences and festivals. A bookmark was always added with the sale of every out-of-print book by and about women. This particular bookmark included a postage stamp size engraving of Rosa Bonheur taken from one of the press’s early postcards. The bookmark was printed letterpress on some of the reclaimed card stock that Jocelyn Cohen and Nancy Poore had salvaged from print shops going out of business. Known as tag ends, this card stock was perfect for bookmarks. This 6 ½” x 2 ½” bookmark was printed in brown on white stock.
