Halloween Costume ideas 2015

Here's Harvey's from Holiday

This neat series of Harvey's Bristol Cream sherry ads ran in various 1960 issues of Holiday magazine.


I really like the rich, saturated colours, strong compositions and well drawn subjects the anonymous artist employed in all three of these ads.


One thing I'm unsure of is the medium these pieces were done in... although I have a sneaking suspicion that this might be magic marker on bond paper. As mentioned in an earlier post, when magic markers first became popular, it was not unheard of to see illustrators use them for finished art as well as layout work.

Something about the way the colours interact here, especially in this last piece makes me think these ads are done with markers.


No idea who the artist is... so these pieces will for now be filed in my Beverage Ads Flickr set.
