Like many others, we find ourselves captivated with vintage advertising. There have been numerous articles, blog posts and websites dedicated to the subject and we just can’t seem to get enough.
Specifically, it is the advertising of the 50’s and 60’s that is most aesthetically pleasing. It seems every ad in that era was either a beautifully shot photograph or a stunning Rockwellian painting. Not to mention the incredible attention given to layout and typography. While searching the Trove of the National Library of Australia, we came across an even earlier little beauty for a Minties Railway Advertising site from 1925.
