Hilf Mit! - Nazi Teachers Association Magazine (1936)

According to OD43.com, a site specializing in scarce original historic Third Reich literature, anti-semitic Third Reich books, Third Reich documents and ephemera:

"Hilf Mit!" was the official monthly periodical from the Nazi teachers association with lots of Hitler Youth photos."

These turned up at a garage sale of all places, and they were too stunning to pass up. These three issues from 1936 have stunning images of nationalism, poetry and songs of nationalism (as shown in one included page) and plenty of propaganda. I have scanned the three covers as well as a music sheet, as I am a musician by trade. View the slideshow below, or click through for the Flickr set.

Advertisements from Time Magazine (December 1981)

My folks saved lots of magazines corresponding to important events -- as I suspect many people did regarding the recent election -- and the birth of my sister in 1981 was one such event. These wonderful advertisements come from the TIME magazine from December 27, 1981 -- The Year in Pictures issue. Not much creativity in the company that created these two ads, was there?

Lots of cigarette and booze ads here, but also some wonderful ones from Hilton, Bell Systems, Chrysler (with Ricardo Montalban), Azar Nuts and Snap-E-Tom. Enjoy the slideshow below, or click through for the Flickr set.

N.C. Wyeth Illustration - Snake and Hawk (1923)

A family friend got me into the artwork of N.C. Wyeth when I was a teenager and I've been hooked ever since, collecting many volumes of Scribner's Classics illustrated by N.C. Wyeth. On a recent trip I found this single sheet from The Ladies Home Journal from March of 1923. Enjoy this beautiful image!

Liberty Magazine: Vox Pop Illustrations (1939)

My uncle is a paint contractor in Port Townsend, Washington, and he is always being given "junk" from clients' old houses. These images are from a couple of old issues of Liberty, and the regular column "Vox Pop". I was going through them recently and these images just looked so special! I hope you enjoy, and be sure to click through for full-sized images.
