Some of the products that were advertised on these vintage posters are unbelievable.
These are some rather interesting black and white retro photos. The people and the scenes are quite unusual at least by today’s standards. Have a look and see if you don’t agree.
These are photos of some amazing landings of the famous B-17 Flying Fortress.
Magnum member Leonard Freed is best known for these black & white documentary photographs. He travelled to different countries as a photojournalist, but his career blossomed during the American Civil Rights movement in 1964-1965. You’ll find some of his best retro photos after the jump.
Even though color photography wasn’t made widely available to the public until the 60s you can now see color images from as early as the turn of the century. It’s amazing to see that life wasn’t in black and white during those times.

Ah, remember the good old days when you could spend your afternoon, and your allowance, in the arcade rooms. You could play a few games and maybe win a kewpie doll. Those were truly more innocent times.
These are retro Cosplays that range from Worldcon to WonderCon from the 1970’ to the 1980’s. Cosplays have been around as long as there have been fans. It appears that people have been dressing themselves up in science fiction and fantasy costumes for a long time.
These are some very awkward photos from proms in the early 1990’s. You can tell that the photos are that old from the hairdos if nothing else. Those were the good old days.
This is quite a collection of bizarre black and white photos. Some of these just made me shake my head. They sort of make you think what facebook would have looked like if they'd had it back in the twenties and thirties. "Hey Everybody, check out Junior! He is only four years old and he can roll his own!" "See, Tiffany WAS a virgin, take that all you haters!"

These are some very good looking girls wearing the miniskirts from the 1960’s and 1970’s. Those were the days when the skirts were shorts and the girls were hot. There is something to be said for yesterday’s fashions.
This collection of fifteen actual products from decades past proves that humans are indeed an evolving species, and that companies truly were trying to kill the competition
These amazing old advertisements for computers are really funny to us now. These are from the days where they still had to convince us that computers weren't an instrument of the devil, and that we would find them affordable and useful. From promises of better productivity to making us think it was sexy to have a computer, the advertisers pimped out Leonardo DaVinci and Dom Delouise to hawk their wares.
These are some freaky retro photos. They are of all different people, some risqué for the time, some not. None of the photos really make any sense and that why they are called freaky photos.

As Frank said if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. These retro photos show some of the history of this bigger than big city.
These are some very old discount coupons. They were both placed in magazines a mailed directly to potential customers. The idea was to tempt people to try their product. By and large the businesses’ plan worked. This all started in the mid 1890s.
These days, you would never see such advertisements. But it is sure fun to look at them today. Some of the advertisements are for products that are still available, other are for products that have long been discontinued but they are all very weird.
Advertising and packaging are always a sure way to view a small time capsule from the past. These fantastic retro images will bring back the good ole days, or after viewing them you might be glad that we have forgotten the past and move forward to the future with new ideas in marketing and advertising design.
These are some very old computer ads from Virginia Tech. Not only are the ads old, they are very funny. Some of them use sex to sell their antiquated PCs, others use humor. How did we ever get by with such inadequate equipment?
These retro photos of Paris are beautiful and amazing. They were taken in the beginning of the 20th century. They were black and white at first. But color was added to them later on.

Here’s a little but very interesting collection of retro ads.
I know that a lot has changed compared to the 50’s and that our society was quite sexist but I didn’t know that it was sexist to that extent.
But despite all the sexism in the ads they are also funny. Don’t get me wrong, I mean, it’s a good thing that we evolve and can laugh at our stupidities made in the past. I am pretty sure, our descendants will laugh at our today’s stupidities in the future.
Such retro lunchboxes aren’t made any more. This is a real nostalgia, a reminder of popular cultures adored in 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, etc. These lunchboxes are cool as they don’t lack the imagery, details and imagination. I would like to have one of these!
An American guy wanted to recreate his favorite place when he was a child – the video arcade!
