As a car enthusiast and the way advertisers have I called this blog into private life.
goal: the preservation of interesting advertisements of the past.
But how did it happen?
A few months ago, my grandfather, I "inherited" some old magazines. (Vorgezogene inheritance, he is still alive.)
I promised natural to him once at some point to look into it.
To my surprise, then finally gave in fact a situation in which I was browsing one of these journals because of their title.
- The cover story was not interesting then. What I have noticed, however, the old car ads.
This seemed to me, as opposed to magazine design to really come from a different era.
photographs not "set right" on the computer and have been mostly praised the same multi-column text here in Automobile achievements of the past, as an exciting new product. - An interesting combination.
It quickly became clear to me that I those advertisements would archive. Since, however, would cut most ads destroy (both sides), the choice was quickly digitize it up.
But where contact with the data, and in what form of representation? - Of course from the net so that, as a blog.
So I can others who are also interested, these ads are available and may get even more posted.
Regards, Mick.
PS: The text of the ads are digitized by an OCR program and served again briefly from me was, but certainly not error-free.
