I am starting a new thread for something I brought in the thread about the 260-pope poster:
In my old office of all places --- financial firm in northern Virginia, McLean, just down the road from the pickle and fudge factory, since closed --- somebody had left two large cardboard-backed posters, probably about 4" x 3", that looked like they were made to be displayed in Catholic schools in Quebec back in the 1940s or 1950s. One showed a Catholic family relaxing in their living room, father in a chair smoking a pipe (with a mustache, which would not have been at all common, or presented on a role model, in Anglo-America), I believe the daughter was playing the piano, and I don't recall what the mother and son were doing. IIRC there was also a crucifix on the wall. The intended message seemed to be "this is what a good French Canadian Catholic home looks like". The other poster was of schoolchildren assisting at Holy Mass, kneeling for communion IIRC, and I seem to recall one of the children having a "Missel Dominical".
Has anyone else here ever seen these, and I know this is a stretch, but might there be a way of obtaining them? When our office closed, I was offered the opportunity to buy them for $10 each, but money was kind of tight --- keep in mind we were all losing our jobs --- and I couldn't spare the $20. I've often wished I'd purchased them, but we moved twice since then, and large, rigid cardboard posters would have been very low on the list of priorities of things to try to move.
Any ideas?
