Signal / Signaal

Sometimes nice things can happen when you least expect them.

My mother-in-law telephoned that she dropping by to give some magazines. Of course we expected a number of the usual glossies when suddenly right there before my eyes was a bundle of Signaal magazines from 1940/41 (12 total) - the dutch variant of Signal, special edition of the Berliner Illustrirten Zeitung!!!






Boy oh boy, there is nothing nicer than living history!

Overal they are in a fair condition having been saved in an attic of a friend of her's. If I was intrested in more of similar pre-war and wartime material including music records - am I ever!!!

Cannot wait for what might turn up, I'll post the results.

Now a practical question.

What is the copyright situation on this type of material?

I'd love to scan a number of pictures and illustrations included to spice up future work.
