Selkie Lore
From a series of stamps from the Faroe Islands depicting legends of the Seal Folk.
"While there is nothing unusual in finding isolated fragments of human bone in Mesolithic deposits, the find at Oronsay was rather out of the ordinary in that, of the forty or so bone fragments recovered, thirty were small bones from the hands and feet, and one of the groups of human finger bones was found to lie on a cluster of bones from a seal's flipper … [in what] would appear to be a deliberate act of association."

Take a Cruise
We’ve just picked up two more vintage menus for our collection. We know that lots of you love illustration & design so we thought we’d share them.
They’re both from the cruise ship SS Oronsay owned by P&O and date from the early 1970s.
The serenading mermaids on this one are just gorgeous.
And the on board entertainment is a treat to read. Frog Racing???? The people on this cruise must have…
