Like many others I find myself captivated with vintage advertising.\u00a0 There have been numerous articles, blog posts and websites dedicated to the subject and I just can’t seem to get enough.<\/p>\n

Specifically, it is the advertising of the 50’s and 60’s that is most aesthetically pleasing to me.\u00a0 It seems every ad in that era was either a beautifully shot photograph or a stunning Rockwellian painting.\u00a0 Not to mention the incredible attention given to layout and typography.<\/p>\n

The following are 50 of my personal favorites.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy them.<\/p>\n

It should be mentioned that many advertisements from this era were very<\/em> politically incorrect.\u00a0\u00a0 I’ve excluded such ads from this list as I feel it would draw the attention away from these particular selections.\u00a0 Though it may be the subject of a future post.<\/p>\n
