Period Advertising

Post by audiophile102 »

I scanned a friends collection of phonograph advertising. Really beautiful color ads. Mostly Columbia and Victor from Theater Magazine around 1920. I made high resolution scans so I could make my own posters. Here is a low resolution example of one of my favorite ads. I don't know how common this is, but it's really beautiful. I have 26 Columbia ads and 32 Victor ads. Is there an interest in period advertising?

I should think so.

One thing I have noticed is few color ads for Edison.

You bet there is interest. I also think to remember that another member has once posted two zip files with a lot of scanned Victor ADs. ZIP files will be smaller and therefore easier to up- and download.

Thanks
