Thank you to @letterformarchive for hosting yesterday’s Salon event with Morgane Côme and yours truly.

Working at incredible speed while we slept, the archive has published the recording online already. All 85 minutes can now be viewed here:

The book itself is such a treat and I highly recommend North American customers ordering a copy directly from Letterform Archive:

A catalog of beverage label designs from Lehmann Printing and Lithographing Co., San Francisco, 1936.

Non-alcoholic drinks like ginger ale flooded the marketplace during prohibition. We also hold a large collection of hand-painted labels from Lehmann, presumably used as presentation comps for clients. See many of these in our Online Archive: https://oa.letterformarchive.org/?dims=Collection&vals0=Lehmann%20Label%20Collection&friendly0=Lehmann%20Label%20Collection
