Today, we solemnly observe National Gun Violence Awareness Day, a day of profound significance that serves as a stark reminder of the far-reaching impact of gun violence on communities worldwide. It's a day to honor the lives lost, the families forever changed, and the survivors who courageously advocate for change.

We're featuring If Only, an artist's book printed by Stephanie Copoulos-Selle in 2016 at her Citron Press in Waukesha, Wisconsin, in a limited edition of 35 copies. This artist's book delves into the emotional aftermath of gun violence. This powerful piece encourages reflection on the many victims of America's gun culture. As stated in the colophon, "The Constitution allows its citizens to bear arms. But, nowhere, in any society, is an individual allowed to kill people in schools, nightclubs, restaurants, theaters, public malls, or places of worship. Buying automatic military assault guns can cause massive loss of life. Buying a gun for protection can end in killing family members. America's gun obsession results in many types of victims."

Let's unite in our efforts to raise awareness and inspire action. Together, we have the power to shape a safer future.

Bjorn Aronson “Frontierland” (1955)

Entering and exiting Disneyland (as well as later parks) guests are funneled through what Walt Disney envisioned as akin to the lobby of a movie theater, where posters attract moviegoers to current and upcoming features. The first posters were designed by graphic artist Bjorn Aronson, who used the silk-screen printing technique to create “large posters bright, colorful, and more importantly, attention grabbing.” 1

Aronson designed travel posters, “large, silk-screened graphics displayed at train depots, bus stations, and airports that could be read quickly and easily in a fast-paced society.” 1

Aronson’s large (54"x 36") posters are highly sought after, fetching large sums. The Casa de Fritos poster is particularly rare, available only in smaller facsimiles.
