vintage printage

so, in case you didn't know, i am kind of obsessed with vintage memorabilia. mainly because i wish i were alive in the 1950s.

i found an amazing site called plan59 that has TONS of old vintage ads. it was so hard to select from this massive pool of archives, but i chose some sample prints that really capture the essence and style of this time period.
