A full appreciation of printed ephemera requires an understanding of the history of paper making, typesetting and, most especially, printing. The accurate dating of an item of ephemera is critical to unlocking its value as primary information. Its paper, typography, and method of printing are sometimes the only reliable clues to its date of issue. |

Janus, the Roman god of doorways, is reported to have had the power to look both outwardly and inwardly at the same time. The fact is that most of us are not blessed with such omni-directional vision. The contributors to this issue of The Ephemera Journal, however, seem to share this Janus-like ability to focus on one aspect of their world and see something else at the same time. |
