Same basic composition was running at least into the 1950s, although with minor changes. Only moderate confidence on the 1910 ad vintage. The wording “Produced in Pescara since 1925” allows that it may have been produced elsewhere before that, so 1910 may be right here, but it’s not completely clear.
Apology for the low-effort post. I just liked the style of this.
The great villains of history are rightfully remembered and condemned for their major crimes. But villains, being human beings, commit both major and minor crimes alike. Among the minor crimes of the Ku Klux Klan were completely ruining a whole bunch of awesome fashion choices. Oh, and making it so you can’t have a nerdy club that gives their leadership fun titles like “Imperial Wizard” without everyone thinking you’re a monster. I mostly loathe the KKK for their major crimes. But I also loathe the minor ones.
Oh shit, this is so stylized that it didn’t even occur to me it had any resemblance.
Maybe that is why I didn’t see any versions of it after the 50s.
IIRC aurum is Latin for gold. Hopefully that describes the color and this isn’t one of those liquors with tiny gold flakes in it.
Goldschläger!
“For those who insist on having the expensive shit.”
Love the color palette
I am inclined to agree, even though I do not like orange as a color. It works here, in a small dose.
That wind turbine blade shouldn’t be drinking.
I say we let her do what she wants. Ain’t no law establishin’ a minimum age to sell alcohol to a wind turbine!
I love that the ads were hand-drawn back then
I just got a vibe of excitement and anticipation. Maybe the artist isn’t good at drawing eyes, so he just found another way to say “this highly stylized princess is excited!”
They would make a cute couple.
Is this the drink of choice before a cross burning? What’s with the gettup? Reads as pretty hateful presently.
She’s wearing medieval style headdress and robes, nothing to do with the KKK. It’s meant to be fantastical, and like many symbols co-opted by the evil, it had nothing to do with hate at the time (and place, Italy) it was made.
The eye holes arent cut out and that’s a ridiculously long point. I think we’re good haha.
