New Album On Website, Close Family – 1905 +
Collage by helenoppenheim.com
New album just up on the website. Close family. With little stories under some photos. Grandparents, Uncle, Aunts, Helen way back then as a toddler and bridesmaid. This is my Maternal Grandmother, Rosa. Not sure when it was taken but it was a long time ago, probably early 20s, maybe before. Or After. The photo was falling apart so I put it in a picture mat.

CommentFAMILY PHOTO/GIFT CERTIFICATE – 1904/1976
Design: Erik Neill Weiss
A great idea for a Gift Certificate from my days as Creative and PR Director of La Coupe Salons in New York and Montreal.
This is the color version of La Coupe’s bi-lingual 1976 Gift Certificate surrounded by an easily detachable picture mat designed by Erik Neil Weiss. Clients could replace the gift certificate with a 3 1/2″ x 5″ photo or etching or whatever, and frame it. Shown here, an old family photo, from 1904, very Belle Epoque.
We did a limited edition of 500 – signed and numbered by the artist. The design was derived from actual antique bookbinding papers influenced by the Pre-Raphaelite, Art Nouveau and Art Deco periods, also inspired, said the artist, by Diaghilev’s Ballets Russes.
