Go to any big city in this great
country and you will most likely find an art gallery filled with works
of the "Masters" and lesser known artists.
I'll bet you didn't know that we are
on the brink of loosing forever some of our most prolific and creative
art from the recent past. Yes... we're talking about the beautiful art
work found in the older "pre-owned" magazines so many of us have
discarded as nuisances over the years. No... I'm not talking about the
modern day magazines with their slick, ho hum photographs, I'm referring
to the early 1900's versions. The technology in those early days
precluded the mass use of photographs in the printing process, so guess
what... the magazines hired artists to create their covers and embellish
their advertisements.
If those same artists had applied
their talents to canvas... many of their paintings would now be hanging
in those same art gallery's in those same big cities mentioned above.
We have made it a mission at
Nostalgiaville to salvage a portion
of this wonderful art before it is all discarded and hauled to the
landfills. Because our presentation of the ad art is in a chronological
or date order, there's an added bonus to your journey with us. As you
page through this section, you will step into history and be swept along
like in a time machine. You will see events and products evolve before
your very eyes as you progress quickly through time as projected by the
ad art.
So, come on... grab your mouse and
click your way to a fascinating journey through time by choosing a "port
of entry" from those listed to follow. Oh... by the way... click on any
picture outlined in blue for a
screen full of enlargement and delight.
