Aha! So it does. And I'm sure, now, that those little words don't appear on the original advertisement. Look here:
If the link I stuck in above doesn't show up (I've whined in the past that me-posted links often do not; it's a mystery), and you're sufficiently interested, just Google "Period Paper Classic Advertising Art." I imagine Period Paper added its microsignature to their digital file for that ad so as to demonstrate that Period Paper is its legitimate source -- and so P.P. can make money by selling the digital file with its microsignature layer removed. Um, if you know what I mean.
Ahhh a watermark done in a classy way. I should have googled periodpaper, but it was in the middle of the night, (other excuses).... https://www.periodpaper.com/ Thanks for the comment, I learned things!
I see they even had to have separate ads for political parties even back then:)
ReplyDeleteCan anybody see well enough to make out the words repeated in the second image's background? And if so, could he/she/they kindly share those words?
ReplyDeleteThanks (and thanks, Mr. G., for posting those very swingin' advertisements),

I zoomed right in and as far as i can see, it reads Period Paper. Makes no sense to me, but poerhaps I'm not cool enough...
