Every one of the McCallum ads is delightful, but these two especially.



And one more! I couldn't resist!

I'd expect to see that second one in a book of fairy tales, not a hosiery ad!

these are beautiful.

the second one looks suspiciously like my sources when i had to dress up as the goddess Demeter for a presentation in first grade.

I wish ads were still this lovely.

They didn't call it the golden age of illustration for nothing.

The animals are adorable, especially the squirrel wearing the sweater and the dancing(?) frog.

What beautiful ads! Thank you so much for sharing them. I love the little details like the dancing frog and the squirrel wearing the little sweater.

I want to dance with a frog now.
