All i know about it is....I LOVE IT!!!
I love old prints, especially if they are ads of some type. This one got me interested because of the red bird at the hem of her blouse. My first thought was it was a phoenix, but then I thought maybe a thunderbird?? I'm wondering if it could have something to do with either the Ford Thunderbird or perhaps something with the military. A little search found a link to both. Don't know if there is any connection, but it would be interesting to know.
