Malcolm Warrington, a UK-based Victorian greeting card collector, who I interviewed last month, entered his "Swarm of Bees" poster in this year's coolest ephemera contest. Although it wasn't declared the winner of the 2008 Coolest Ephemera Contest, it does merit an honorable mention. According to Malcolm, the poster was used to promote Mason's Extracts of Herbs.
Malcolm says, "This is presented by Mason's Extracts of Herbs, and when put in a suitable frame will form an acquisition to the Bedroom or Nursery. One of these beautiful Chromos will be sent post free to any address in the United Kingdom on receipt of six penny stamps. Address: Newhall & Mason, Nottingham."
