Latina History and Culture 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 accompanied the Latina series with postage stamp size photographs of five of the seven women in the series. On most of the offset press runs, there was extra space in the margin, and Nancy Poore and Jocelyn Cohen had come up with the idea to fill it with two or three bookmarks. After all, doing so did not add to the cost of the press run, just a little time to pre-press production, and what a bonus! Printed 7 ¼” x 2” in sepia and lavender. Also printed later in sepia and turquoise.
