This months issue of Creative Review had a lovely monograph on old advertising that used to be painted along the side of buildings before there was ever talk of billboards.
The article focused on the fact that we can still see these faded gems all over the country and they are slowly dying out as buildings become demolished.
With our current graphical climate of digital design and pristine billboards, a poster such as these with dated illustrations and vintage type would become more eye catching and ironically 'fresh' to find out in public...
