Dreamy Typewriter Ads--Berlin, 1914

JF Ptak Science Books Quick Post

This ad appeared at the top-quarter of a page in Illustrirte Zeitung for July 1914, a month before the beginning of the war--these creative and colorful stamps (each only about one inch tall) were made to attract readers of the weekly magazine to the fine typewriters produced by Groyen & Richtmann of Cologne and Berlin.
