EST God knows that we have a hard time coming across any sort of advertising in this day and age, so it's a good thing that the Internet came along to fill this cultural vacuum. So many nights I have stayed up until dawn searching the 'Net for icons and images of past commodities, but no more. This Web site has it all from cars to cosmetics. It is a veritable museum of images from American advertising throughout the media age.
Users can search by category, by decade and by year for pages from magazines throughout history.
The taste and design of generations shines through in their products and design, and this site finally has come up with a teriffic database of images from which to draw upon. The music section contains ads from concert tours, album releases and promo stops from the likes of rock music mags from the '70s. The database is even searchable by year through every category. A resource like this has been sorely lacking from the World Wide Web, since most old print ads found come either from kitschy, random clip art or specific publications. But this site compiles what it can and actually dishes out the content in heaping spoonfulls.
