ALL AMERICAN ADS
There are 3 books by the TASCHEN Verlag:
40s, 50s and 60s...
AMAZING PICS! Some Ivy stuff, perfect for our Boom Years thread!
I got the 60s one from a friend, now, and another TASCHEN book, The Golden Age of Advertising- the 60s, but unfortunately, I don't have a scanner!
Anybody else with this stuff? Moose?

Re: ALL AMERICAN ADS
yep I have the 50s and 60s Taschen books
my wife has a couple Sears catalogs from the 40s, which was an amazing book when you look at it today. There was SO MUCH top gear in that catalog.
I totally forgot about these books...will have to scan some pages when I have time

Re: ALL AMERICAN ADS
Please do!
The one thing that best cuts through all the theories about all this stuff on the Net is the pictures from the actual times concerned.

Re: ALL AMERICAN ADS
I've got my copies to hand, but no scanner sadly, great great little books though, which provide a nice insight, mostly womens-wear though.

Re: ALL AMERICAN ADS

Re: ALL AMERICAN ADS
I have the 1920s book, which has quite a few good menswear ads and lots of other good ads featuring men in formalwear and other great duds of that period. I looked at the 1930s one, which I thought would have been the very best for menswear ads, but there appeared to be a paucity of such images, so I passed on buying it.
