Weekend Event: Railways

Contest Entry: Sabena / Boeing

the abstract terminal building, the row of shadowy passengers boarding, the implied red carpet, the wonderful obsession with jet propulsion, the font for "jet" - this is one of my favorite ads
Cintura Calliano

This absolutely gorgeous ad is actually just about a magical belt that prevents seasickness. See him shaking his tiny fist defiantly at the sea, as he struggles not to turn as green as the sky? But hey, it won a gold medal at the Torino 1898 Exposition and he's definitely my kind of hunky.
The artist is Adolfo Hohenstein (1854-1928), considered the "father of Italian poster art". Every one of his poster ads should be shared here, but there are too many.

Boeing / Sabena airline artwork

Train and Spa posters, Baden, Austria.
Mar. 20th, 2016 09:28 pmwrite-light.livejournal.com
The most beautiful day or half-day excursions to the spa town of Baden with the electric express train Vienna (Opera) - Baden.
The most comfortable and fastest trip in 58 minutes. Dining car in every train. Departure ...
If you look closely, you can see the current spa (top) matches the one in the poster.
Another poster for Baden by the same artist, Willy Stieborsky:

( Not sure if these qualify as ads, but various Erte artworks for Harper's Bazaar magazine covers 1919-27 behind the cut. These would definitely make me buy the magazine! )

Feb. 27th, 2016 09:47 ambeaver67.livejournal.comI like the wood block/arts and crafts look of this ad. Ford City became part of Windsor, Ontario in 1935. It is just east of the Walkerville neighbourhood (Where Hiram Walker built his distillery and model community). Ford Canada had a large factory along the Detroit River here, hence the name of the community, Ford City.
