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.
