Advertising or Art?
Vintage advertising is often considered an art form of the times, with illustrators such as:
* Norman Rockwell * J.C. Leyendecker * Maxfield Parrish * Charles Gibson * John Clymer *
* James Montgomery Flagg * Harrison Fisher * Jon Whitcomb * Rose O'Neill * Beatrice Potter *
* Winslow Homer * John Falter * Will Bradley * Howard Chandler Christy and others. Many a depression era home was proudly decorated with magazine ads. Some ads a reminder of
what had been and other ads a hope of what was to come. Many a tribute to the fierce
U.S. homeland pride during World War II, displaying war ads as a symbol of support.
Collecting & the Perfect Unique Present...
Vintage ads are not only popular and fun to collect, they are a wonderful addition to
any existing antique or collectible grouping. What better way to
validate your favorite
antiques or collectibles, than to display a
dated advertisement nearby? Ads also offer
a unique way to celebrate a birthday, anniversary or special occasion! And what a
fun surprise for a teacher, doctor, clergyman or secretary...an ad which reflects
a profession or calling in a very special way.
