Squares in Design, 1923

JF Ptak Science Books  Quick Post    History of Lines series

It was an amusing to find these designs using square elements in the design of advertisements--interesting and odd, mainly because I hadn't seen much like this, before.  And here were three examples ina single issue of Illustrirte Zeitung for June 1923.  It seemed as though the idea might be endemic--as it turned out, there were no other examples for the use of squares like these for any other advertisers for the rest of the year.  In any event, the square details are an attractive thing.
