When I was a kid I loved old advertising art, (okay, I still do) --especially colorfully cute ones like this full-pager from Top Value Stamps in 1956. It's fun to analyze each teeny, simplified scene featured below, noting the choices made by the illustrator of what to include, and not include, so the miniature size of everything "market, station, and store" still reads well, and with style, to the naked consumer eye. Yep, I like this ad so much that I also think we should blow up each one of these splashy green environments and really give them a good going over. Please do enjoy!
