The Ephemera Society of America (ESA) will be holding its annual
three-day conference and fair at Old Greenwich, CT. in mid-March 2014,
devoted to sharing and exploring various aspects of ephemera, and to
buying ephemera to add to or to start collections. The first day,
Friday, is devoted to presentations of papers with a specific theme and
to exhibits and book signings by some of our published members and
speakers. Saturday and Sunday feature a two-day ephemera fair with
dealers from around the world and member forums on Sunday before the
fair.
The theme for the conference is “Field to Table: The Ephemera of Food
and Drink.”Our essential connection to what the earth produces, and how
these sustain us is at the core of our lives. Each step of the process
from the field to the table represents a different aspect of our society
and its values. The ephemera of food and drink illustrates the
different points of view of that story, reflecting how our society has
evolved. This narrative includes survival, culinary achievement, hard
work, the aesthetics of food and table presentation, balance, culture,
health, satisfaction and commerce. What drives us? Our needs and
initiatives, the creativity of our inventions and discoveries, our
passions and resources are all involved in getting things from the field
to the table. Ephemera helps us follow and understand the evolution of
these comestibles and potables.
