I love a good print ad. Maybe it’s my magazine background shining through, but it’s difficult for me to see the interplay of typeface and imagery on paper as anything but artful, even though I know I’m being marketed to. Sorry if that makes me complicit, Marshall McLuhan! But I prefer to think of myself as just a geek for fonts, puns, pictures and products, especially when they’re clever. And while advertising has definitely gotten slicker over the years—and clearly colonized other platforms, it’s amazing how different and yet somewhat similar old ads are to the ones today. So let’s get lost in a few vintage home ads to see just how much (or little) things have changed.
