Wayback Wednesday: Advertising Posters

I have always loved vintage marketing posters.  I guess advertising was much more of an art back in the day.  Now we are so bombarded with ads.  It's rare that we think of an advertisement as artwork.  That's why I stopped when I came across this article with these vintage posters.  They are old train posters advertising seaside resorts.  Apparently, there is going to be an auction next month in New York to sell these.

Take a look at some of the beautiful artwork from these posters.

They just make you want to go on vacation (if only in your head).
