  • The 3rd one is 'inspired' by a Dutch trademark called Droste, also a warm chocolat drink. http://www.infinitecat.com/imagesbits/droste-big.jpg

    In the Dutch language there is a term called 'Droste effect'. The nurce is holding a can with the same picture, including herself holding a can with the same picture etc etc. E.g. http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8c/Droste-wikipedia.jpg/300px-Droste-wikipedia.jpg

  • These posters are just so charming and creative, I really enjoy this type of art.
    Thanks for all the fantastic images and such posted.
    Keep up the great work!
    Read more

  • >There were no trademarks, no variety of flavors to choose from

    Not true. You mess the ads from 20ies, when USSR had no industry running to speak of, and so only had one or two factories producing every type of goods, with what communists had by 60ies or 70ies.
    There were enough trademarks or just sorts.

  • Anyone know where I could buy some of these as posters? They'd look great around the apartment...

  • The Kvas ad is from the Soviet period: the orthography is post-1917, it is made by 'Rospotrebsoyuz', and there is no brand name.

    The cosmetic powder ad is from the pre-1917 period, since it's made by 't-vo A-Ralle & Co.' The second ad for rubber boots ('galoshi') is also from the pre-revolutionary period: they are made by 't-vo Provodnik', the orthography is pre-1917, and you can see the imperial coat of arms.

  • I love old advertising posters. Wonder if it's possible to buy prints of some of these. The first ones have some beautiful artwork on them.
    Read more

  • Wonderful! But unfortunately ads from different times are mixed, and the ad from before 1917 is placed sided by side with an ad of no erlier than 1050-ies.

  • Thanks a lot!

    > most posters advertise a generic product

    The reason is rather simple: in USSR the only product manufacturer was eventually the state itself; every factory was owned by the state. So, it was not matter, whose production citizens bought, in any case this was a way to pump up more money into the state budget.

  • About "Bavarian Ravers"

    It is not complicated. The dance is called the "Schuhplattler" and tells a story of fighting which resolves at the end in happiness when the women enter the dance.

  • This brings back many memories. Born and raised in the town of Malmoe I am. Seen this crane for some 35 years of my life. I don't miss it. Yes, it was most impressive and a highly visibly landmark. You cannot however linger in sentimetnality. We got new landmaks now since we got rid of this ugly monster of a crane. Calatrava's Turning Torso would be the most well known of these.
