Modern Publicity 1966 . Midcentury Advertising, Graphics, Illustration
I first found out about the publication called ‘Modern Publicity’ after seeing and buying a copy back in 2012, it was the 1950/51 edition, right up my street !. These images are taken from the 1966/67 edition which sadly wasn’t quite as interesting. If anyone has any of the 1950 ones they might be able to loan me for a scrutiny, please let me know.
Modern Publicity is the equivalent to a graphics magazine today and covered posters, packaging, TV, magazine and book illustrations and adverts each year.
Great to see such a variety of line and style in one place.
Nearly 50 year old packaging which looks fresh as a daisy !
Ahh just lie back in the long grass and enjoy the day : )
There’s a great article from the guys over at Quad Royal about this publication too.

fabulous stuff – attractive, playful and informative – nicely represents the general optimism and sunny outlook of 60’s graphics and advertising.
You gotta give them credit in the 50’s and 60’s they certainly did it simply and effectively : ) thanks for your comment Tony
Great to see the graphics so evocative of the times of my youth . . . Takes me back in an instant.
