Two of the most popular things these days are Mad Men and ephemera, so it’s not surprising that mid-century advertising is all over the web. I spent a bunch of time a week ago looking at Container Corporation of America ads from the early 20th century, which were a steady source of inspiration for me when I was in design school. I’ll post more on them separately, but then mid-week Carin Berger was tweeting about Herbert Bayer ads (separate from his work on the CCA series). And then toward the end of the week, Sandra Gulland emailed me about this list of 50 great vintage ads, which included the one above. I’ve never seen this before and have no idea who created it, but I would like a poster-sized version to hang on the wall so I can stare at it all day long.
