Reviews for Vintage Advertising Art and Design
6 ratings1 review
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This volume definitely loses something in an ebook format, but, nevertheless, it is a pleasing (and brief) stroll through some nostalgia-inducing advertising art from the early 20th century. It was a time when shopping and eating out was portrayed as a luxury, and these images are good evidence of that. I'd love to adapt some of them to a website.

NOTE
In the first part of the twentieth century, art schools and studios published numerous illustrated guides to aid sign painters and show card designers. Filled with elegant alphabets, spot motfis, borders, frames and more, these books offered something for everyone. The designs offered here, chosen from a variety of vintage sources, are every bit as alluring as they were almost a century ago.
