Here's another one of these magazines - all about the poster as advertising medium - from a very interesting time - 1927 - when color printing processes were burgeoning for the first time. check out hte beautiful zebra/parrot photo from Leipzig in the third pic and the Ozark painted truck is amazing in the 4th pic!! [that will be my tribute to Burning Man, which just ended].

I would love to see the original of the zebra and parrot one, wouldn't have that one some where there too would you!!!??...:-)
i've seen it before - somewhere - but can't remember where. i'd love to have an original of one!
They are all appealing, wouldn't it be great to stumble upon that car. He was ahead of his time, what a great way to get peoples attention, & get them talking.
Do you go to Burning Man?
i used to, but not for the past few years. it's too big now. the last time i was there was 02 and the first time was in 92 or 93.
Some things lose their charm when they draw to big of a crowd. I've only seen some highlights on TV.
Cool stuff though!
yes, it is still lots of fun, but i just don't feel like dealing w/ such huge crowds anymore. i'd rather live w/ the memories of how it used to be. i went to one of the first ones in san francisco way back in the beginning. might have been the very first one, but not sure.
