Old Adverts

Adverts, particularly from the 1920\'s and 1930\'s, are so evocative of the super-stylish Art Deco period. Those that had a pictorial content were more concerned with enhancing and promoting the product they were associated with, but many - seen through our eyes now - are real works of art. And it matters not whether the advert was for a car, a corset or a carpet - somehow the artists and designers of the time couldn\'t help but produce something that has withstood the test of time.
The originals can be found in old magazines and newsprint, on posters and leafelets. Many are now in very poor condition. However modern photographic and computer technology allows them to be rescued, enhanced and given a contemporary twist.
