Synopsis
With the consumerist euphoria of the fifties still going strong and the race to the moon at its height, the mood of advertising in the sixties was cheerful, optimistic, and at times, revolutionary. The decade’s ads touted perceived progress―such as tang and instant omelets - "just add water"―while striving to reinforce good old American values.
Stars like Sean Connery, Woody Allen, Salvador Dalí, and Sammy Davis Jr. endorsed everything from bourbon to handmade suits in an attempt by Madison Avenue to urge Americans to open their wallets and participate in one giant consumer binge. Social change at the end of the era brought psychedelic swirls and liberated women and minorities to a newly conscious public. Keep an eye out for some of the more surprising and controversial ads―such as Tupperware billing its storage container as a "wifesaver."
From forgotten cars, to cigarettes to food and much more, this colorful collection of print ads explores the wide, wonderful world of 60s Americana.

From the Back Cover
Der amerikanische Optimismus der 50er Jahre hält noch immer an, die Konsumenten kaufen was das Zeug hält, und das Rennen um die erste Mondlandung wird sich in Kürze entscheiden. Die Anzeigenwerbung der Swinging Sixties ist fröhlich, immer optimistisch und zeitweise sogar revolutionär. Man wirbt für die Errungenschaften des Fortschritts ("just add water") und ist gleichzeitig bestrebt, die amerikanischen Werte hoch zu halten.
Stars wie Raquel Welch, Sean Connery, Woody Allen und Sammy Davis Jr. werben für nahezu alles, vom Bourbon bis zum Maßanzug. Noch während sich die Brieftaschen in einem gigantischen Konsumrausch bereitwillig öffnen, neigt sich eine Ära schon dem Ende entgegen: Soziale Änderungen kündigen sich an, die Frauen emanzipieren sich und Minderheiten gelangen ins Bewusstsein der Öffentlichkeit. Achten Sie mal auf einige der überraschenderen und umstritteneren Anzeigen - wie die von Tupperware, die ihren Vorratsbehälter als "wifesaver" anpreist.
Von vergessenen Autos, über Zigaretten bis hin zu Kulinarischem und vielem mehr, erkundet diese bunte Sammlung von Printanzeigen die wunderbare weite Welt der amerikanischen 60er Jahre.
