"Captivating the Past: Exploring Commercial Art and Graphic Design through Vintage Postcards" Step back in time with a collection of vintage postcards that showcase the captivating world of commercial art and graphic design. From Rye Beach, New Hampshire to New West Baden Springs Hotel, these postcards transport us to different eras, each telling its own unique story. One such tale is captured in the Rocky Marciano Postcard, immortalizing the legendary boxer's triumphs within a single frame. The skillful use of typography and imagery conveys his strength and determination. In contrast, the Postcard of the Embalming Chemical Man takes a more whimsical approach. Created by Undertakers Supply Company as an advertising tool, this mascot made entirely out of embalming fluid bottles adds a touch of humor while delivering its message - "I'm on my way. " The Ekwanok Country Club in Manchester, Vermont showcases elegance through its postcard design. With intricate illustrations depicting lush greens and refined architecture, it entices viewers to experience luxury at its finest. A daring spectacle unfolds in another postcard featuring a Woman Riding a Bull. This bold image challenges societal norms while showcasing artistic prowess through dynamic lines and vibrant colors. Traveling westward brings us to First Avenue in Seattle during 1904. The bustling street comes alive through detailed sketches capturing horse-drawn carriages and lively storefronts - an ode to urban life at that time. Further south lies Beauvoir, Home of Jefferson Davis near Biloxi, Mississippi. Its postcard invites us into history with an elegant depiction of this historic landmark nestled amidst picturesque scenery. Commercial art extends beyond physical locations; it also encompasses advertisements like The Whole Family Beer Advertisement from 1941. This cleverly crafted piece entices beer lovers with vibrant visuals that evoke feelings of camaraderie and joyous gatherings. Dearborn Street Station in Chicago stands as another testament to architectural grandeur.
