Hello all...

vintage_ads is such a great community, and I love seeing the amazing ads over here... but I thought some of you might also be interested in design_history, and wanted to invite you to check it out. We aren't very big, and while we have several people watching, we can't seem to get anyone to post outside of the mods! I've seen some great posts on this community, some of them have even inspired more detailed posts on design_history (amadoj0nes recent CCA ads, for example), so many of you would fit right in!

We created design_history as a bit of an "academic" community to share and discuss the history of design, but it isn't so serious as all that. If you are interested, please come on over! Membership is open to all (so far we've been crazy-free!)*, and hopefully you'll be pleased by the look of our page.

*I meant no disrespect to mermaidshotel regarding recent events - not their fault after all! Moreso just that we've had no reason to moderate membership - YET!

No, not at all! I still think this community is awesome... it's just a bit of cross-ever, and we are NOT vintage ads, our focus is on design. So common ground, but not the same at all... sorry!

I think you are doing well with this, and it isn't YOUR fault you've had crazy! ;-)

So, is this a travel ad saying "Come to Wiesbaden in the Spring"? Whatever the purpose, the art is striking. Thanks for sharing it.

"Spring in Wiesbaden", so yeah... I have to credit Nekokaiju for posting it originally on design history.
