The Countryman magazine, autumn 1951

In our everyday life we are sick and tired of excessive quantity of advertisements, but this magazine I bought because of ads. The Countryman, Autumn 1951 is just a treasury of vintage ads: from 224 pages 67 of advertisements. Although 62 years isn't a big gap of time,  but a lot of things have changed dramatically. In 1951 imperial portable typewriters were worth waiting for, not iPads. Flat tobacco pouches and home canning machines were bestsellers.

Some of them I'm going to post:

Vintage Halloween Greeting Cards

All this vintage Halloween greeting cards signed by one illustrator E.C.Banks and were “Made in Saxony”. Actual manufacture is unknown, but all greeting cards manufactured in Germany from the mid 19th century down to the 1920’s were under “Made in Saxony”. At that time Germany was best known place for early tinted and embossed postcards and greeting cards.

Vintage wedding rings clip art


This retro clip art of vintage wedding rings I did for my best friend wedding invitation. And it's not just some vintage rings, but those they exchanged on wedding.
Isn't it a nice and romantic idea?


For you I slightly changed it: there are two more vintage wedding ring pictures you can download: two rings without shadow and one isolated ring on white background. You may also use it for your wedding invitation design or other personal project.

Vintage street sign free clip art


This vintage street sign is my unique clip art picture I made in Illustrator with Artistic Brushes for "Bee Happy" - invitation design studio based in Tel Aviv. The main idea was to design wedding invitation for  Telavivers in hearts and minds, so I took picture of a real Tel Aviv street sign and made it look like vintage illustration. 

And that's how wedding invitation looks like: a small bird sitting on vintage street sign with the names of bride and groom instead of street names.

Vintage corkscrew wine openers

This collection of vintage corkscrew wine openers can look very good on your kitchen wall. You can use all of them separately or, as I did, combine in a single picture. Print them on heavy textured card stock and place into the shabby or antic frame in order to give it an authentic vintage look.
