Modern Publicity 1953 – 54. Illustrated Mid century Art, Advertising and Graphics Part 1

This is my 800th post !!!!!!! WOW, Many thanks to everyone for keeping up with your comments and support.

Following on from the series of blog posts about Modern Publicity here’s part one, looking at the period of world Illustration around 1953 to 1954.

I just love the style of work that was being featured back then and this series of books seems to capture the best of it. Look at the ad for these ultra strong men’s underwear being tested with a spear .. who’d have thought of it ! : )

The only shame is that a large percentage of the books are in black and white, but they still manage to capture the essence of the times better than many illustration books from this time that I’ve seen.

This top poster simply oozes Jaaazzzzz from every pore !

And this Trix advert says as much about wool.

Superb ideas and styles. Look out for more posts with this theme, or search for ‘modern publicity’ in my search box function for any that you might have missed. Thanks.
