Antique Graphics Wednesday - 1916 Advertisements

It's time for another
Antique Graphics Wednesday and oh-my-goodness,
do I have a goldmine for you today!

I brought home two 1916 magazines called, "The Etude".
I felt so fortunate to get these because
they were not for sale yet at the
thrift store where I purchased them,
but I struck up a conversation
with the manager and she took
me to the back of the shop and
let me look through the items
that hadn't been taken to the floor yet!
She was such a sweet gal and
we had a great conversation about
decorating with repurposed & vintage goods.

These were magazines for singers and musicians
and are filled with the most beautiful advertisements,
illustrations, sheet music, and articles.

Feel free to right-click, save and print
these images for your projects.  

I have always loved this advertisement for
Victor Phonographs - isn't that dog adorable?
For some background information
about the Victor Victrola Phonograph
visit this link.

This image is from the back cover of the magazine and
is an advertisement for Pompeian Beauty Products.
It is stunningly beautiful!
This is perfect for a blog sidebar image.


This lovely framed ad was for Kranich & Bach Pianos.
Here's the same ad, cleaned up and with the typography removed.
Add your own words to make a new creation.

These are just a small handful of the gorgeous images found
in this magazine.

It takes some time to scan, crop and edit them, but
I'll complete more and post them next week.
I hope you enjoyed these!


Blessings,
Angie

  3. Hi there Angie.......these are awesome. I know they DO take time to scan and edit. I have a bunch of antique magazines and should do the same thing on the muse. First, more time in the day would be nice. Thank you so much for taking the time to offer them.
