Hey i’m doing a project on advertising at the moment and how women are represented.. does anyone know names of any artists who were big in 50s vintage posters like these?? I have some really early poster artists like Jules Cheret but its hard to find the names of designers from after this. thanks x x

Interesting. Now you put all those ads with a typical good wife from the same era and you will have the perfect combination.

Yes, I agree, there was a lot of depression in the fities among housewives. I didn’t see drugs or alcohol in my neighborhood, but it certainly was written about for other neighborhoods, and maybe I just wasn’t old enough to recognize it in my own area. Some of the things that were written as a result of the intellectual desert that was women’s lives in the fifties led to the women’s movement in the late sixties/early seventies.

@ Karl Staib: I agree: times have changed.

@ Jason Green: I always enjoy intelligent ad copywriting.

@ Shevonne: I agree.

@ Friar: Exactly.

@ Evelyn Lim: I spent a few years as a stay at home mom. It was way more challenging than I had ever imagined.

@ Barbara Swafford: SO TRUE.

@ Cath Lawson: The Nervine ad IS amazing, especially since it implies that without it, you can’t cope.

@ Dee Langdon: “must be human nature!” – probably.

@ sharon: They do!

@ Dr. J: Happy Thanksgiving to you too.
