I put up more sets of photos from picture books on Flickr. One of the sets is from a book called What Happens at a State Fair. The state fair in question was the 1972 Illinois State Fair .
People mill around at a state fair.
Polly "Kiss Mah Grits!" Holiday eats cotton candy at a state fair.
Young Splotchy and his hippie friends look towards the sky for their salvation at a state fair.
Another set is photos of Africa from one of those cheesy Time Life "Countries of the world" books.
I thought this shot was stunning.

Great photos, but what the hell happened to that guy's face? It looks like he was mauled by a lion.
Everyone knows that National Geographic has survived this long on the strength of their boobie pictures. They know a good thing.

I had to laugh at the last caption on naked boobies. Reminded me of how, as the yearbook editor LONG AGO in high school we captioned a picture of a male student reading National Geographic as "Brad XX enjoys the poor man's Playboy" Unfortunately, it didn't make it past the teacher/censor...but the teacher/censor did laugh out loud when he saw it.
Woo! Springfield, IL in the early 70's!
Woo National Geographic boobies!
