Hiya Rose, I split this one off to its own topic so we don't get confusled. :)  These foil prints were very big in the 80s and 90s over here. I used to buy Xmas card blanks with this type of foil pictures on when I was printing and they were hugely popular. I think I still have a few left upstairs in the cupboard somewhere.  Mine came from a company in Yorkshire I think.

thanks Ann - I did not know if I should have posted that somewhere else, as I did not think it was too old, so I tried to slid-d-d-d it in.

Yeah, maybe the 80's, yes they were poplar here too.  People went nuts for them, big, & small.  I would get the Xmas cards with a foil/shine/pic to it too.  This PIX is about 3 feet x 2 feet 6 inches.  I will have to see if there is anything as to where this came from on it...

I always like the WORLD picture.. :tup3:
