All-american ads 4os

Prix : EUR 29,99

Like a pop-cultural walk through time, All-American Ads of the 40s covers the breadth of print ads from the World War II era. As one might expect, the ads look very different from ads today. Most are illustrated, and even the selling of innocuous products like candy bars taps into public interest number one, the war. The book is divided into chapters by product including alcohol, fashion, entertainment, travel, and automobiles. Saving the best for last, the conclusion of each chapter reveals the editor's pick for most peculiar ad. Most enticing are the movie posters. Classic pictures like Citizen Kane and It's a Wonderful Life appear in their original print incarnations as fantastic visions of old Hollywood. Hawking beauty products are famous stars such as Lucille Ball, Lana Turner, Marlene Dietrich, and Veronica Lake. Not surprisingly, gender roles are sharply divided, and race issues stick out sorely. Included is an essay by Willy R. Wilkerson III, "From Rationing to Prosperity, American Life in the 1940s," tracing the history of wartime consumerism. --J.P. Cohen

La pub US pendant la guerre... .

Classée par rubrique, interieur, voyages, produits de toilette, nourriture, automobiles... Ce livre traite les principales publicités américaines en periode de guerre (1940). Plusieurs publicité font references aux conflits, notamment dans la partie automobiles ou Buick (par exemple) se vente d'avoir envoyé en l'air plus de 40000 heures/hommes (Buick construisant les moteurs des avions Avengers)... Bref, cet ouvrage est magnifique.
