In the 1940s–50s, Paul Dubosclard (artist) and Margaret Sheehan (publisher) created Silkscreened Postcards of Topanga and the surrounding towns. John Brewer, an art collector in Colorado, will speak about his recent work to catalog every image and research these forgotten characters. He learned that Paul, a French immigrant, was shot in WWI, sent to a German prison camp, and became rich as an airplane engineer for the US military. Paul and his lover Edith Feeney, a woman half his age, moved to Topanga with her sister Margaret, who sometimes gets all the credit for the postcards.
