I really enjoyed this, but then I’m a sucker for 1950’s stuff. Although it is relatively brief, the emphasis being on the images of the era, the text accompanying the pictures is educational and interesting. Many of the recreated ads are full page, allowing you to appreciate these works of art in their full splendour.
It was an age of plenty, when the future was bright and there was seemingly no end to America’s innovation. There would be of course, and the later chapter covers the end of innocence as the Fifties gave way to the Sixties.
A window into a bygone time and place.
