UFOs, Aliens, & Spaceships

Posted by Periodicals/Reference Librarian

The images below belong to the “UFOs, Aliens & Spaceships” folder.

As the name suggests, this folder contains illustrations, “photographic evidence” and other imagery related to various sightings and alleged first hand extraterrestrial encounters. While in some photographs UFOs are depicted as mere specs of light, in others they seem to appear in uncanny detail. There are also photographs of people who have started cults or societies to spread their belief in extraterrestrial existence and intergalactic cooperation. The elaborate fantasy art work you will find in the folder is indicative of our voracious fascination with worlds beyond our own.

This folder contains 21 illustrations and 29 photographs, with a total of 50 images.

A particular highlight of this folder is the Limited Edition Portfolio from the Lauren Stanley Gallery which showcases their collection of American Soup Ladles from 1800-1900. It comes with a separate booklet that includes extensive information on the exhibited ladles, their history and manufacturers. Detailed descriptions are included on the back of each photograph as well.

This portfolio contains 38 images, with a total of 70 pictures in the entire folder.
