I love museums, history, and graphic design. This means that when I see a display at a museum that is a collection of historic product labels, logos, publications, and any piece of original or replica graphic ephemera gets my heart racing! It is always amazing to see the historical typography, illustrations, copy, and packaging forms. You can learn so much and they are often beautiful!

Here’s a few I’d like to share that I found recently. I was super excited to see these fantastic examples in a display replicating a 19th century Seattle outfitter that catered equipping to the brave souls heading to search for gold during the Klondike gold tush. You can check them out for yourself if you have a chance to visit the Klondike Gold Rush National Historical Park, the whole museum is worth it.
