JELL-O

I have a massive collection of JELL-O ephemera. I've been collecting since the 1970's. Here are just a few of the images I've scanned.

Jello Booklet, detail. You can see that someone wrote over the "W" with pencil. People leave mysterious traces of themselves. Liza Cowan ephemera collections.

All the lovely possibilities. Such gorgeous printing in this chromolithographed recipe booklet. From The Jello Bride. Cowan Ephemera Collections.

The Jello bride. Shown with The Jello Girl, Elizabeth King, as bridesmade. Notice the bold wash of red behind them, a lovely and unusual abstract graphic element contrasted to the tightly controlled and detailed images of the bride and bridesmaid. Cowan Ephemera collections

Prepared for emergencies. See the ghosts of possibility hovering over the newlywed. But she's got her Jello so it will all be alright. Cowan Ephemera Collections

A treat for old Schoolmates, from The Jello Bride. Jello in various scanarios to show how grown up, and modern, this newlywed is. "On this beautiful summer afternoon three of her schoolmates - all happily married- gather at her home to live again their girlhood life and exchange confidences regarding the whims of their husbands and the cleverness of their babies..."
