Easter
Artwork from the Guinness Book Of Phenomenal Happenings from 1976. I just picked it up from the local thrift store the other day for a quarter. I dig the heck out of the artwork by Kenneth Laager.
This is the largest Easter egg ever. Made in Australia in 1974, it was 6 feet high, 13 feet 3 1/2 inches in circumference. The thing weighed 648 pounds. Not too sure if this record still stands or not.
A quick googling says it doesn’t.
Huh, apparently they didn’t have photography back in 1976…
I wonder what record the second picture on the cover is illustrating…loudest yodeler would be my guess.
