- Golf Chromolithographs by Lionell Edwards, a Threesome & StymiedLocated in Oxfordshire, GBA Threesome & Stymied by Lionell Edwards. A pair of Lionel Edwards golf chromolithographs entitled "Stymied!" and "A Threesome".

- "Join the Army at Once & Help to Stop an Air Raid" Vintage British WWI PosterLocated in Colorado Springs, CO"Join the Army at Once & Help to Stop an Air Raid" Vintage British WWI Poster, 1915 This vintage British recruitment poster, published in 1915, calls on men to join the Army. In full, the text reads, “It is far better to face the bullets than to be killed at home by a bomb / Join the Army at once & help stop an air raid / God save the king.” On the poster, a silhouette of London lies beneath a spotlighted German Zeppelin looming above.
