But few are as mind-blowing as a pair of miniature dioramas that Reid Shier, director of The Polygon Gallery in North Vancouver, recently found at an antique store in Nanaimo.
You can guess at the time they were created by the tiny images inside. The girl’s room is filled with itsy-bitsy photos of the early, suit-wearing Beatles on the walls and the door, including a miniature poster of their appearance at the London Palladium in 1963. But some stuff is from as late as 1966.
The fan has written “Beatlemaniacs of the world unite” and “Paul Forever” on her window, and has a Beatles toy guitar by her bed, beside her transistor radio. Across the room is a portable record player with two speakers. It looks like they are all hand-made, perhaps out of Plasticine. The psychedelic room may represent a male Beatles fan — there is a miniature Playboy Reader magazine. There is still a bit of a Beatles theme — including a tiny version of a famous Richard Avedon photo of the Beatles on a wall — but the rest of the room is a period piece about the counterculture in the late ’60s and early ’70s.
