Description:
1947 Exquisite Vintage Mid-Century 2-Pg Surrealist Ad- Textron Fabrics offers Nightgowns and Slips Silky-Soft as Dandelion Puffs- C.J. Sternberg Enchanted Woods Artwork. Absolutely Incredible Original Vintage Ad taken from the pages of a Spring, 1947 issue of Life Magazine. Beautiful and ethereally dreamy image of lovely maiden leaning on a lavender-topped mushroom in a marvelously moonlit garden filled with enchanted scenery floating dandelions and parachutes as a reminder of both Textron's useful recent past and wonderfully fanciful future. Artist C.J. Sternberg has given this ad a softly glowing radiance with hushed dreamy tones in grays blues soft pinks and lavender- note the harp, the spiders-web and the magic spools in the background of the first page and the modern Venus is her newly created nylon slip of snow white- one of Textrons latest range of loungewear filled with beauty and simplicity to enchant any buyer. During the latter forties Textron enhanced their already sterling reputation for precision parachuting materials by hiring some exceptionally talented in-house artists- C.J. Sternberg among them- to sell fabrics by weaving tales of incomparably splendor and beauty such as this one. Ad measures 11 x 15 for each page- and is absolutely stunning in person. One of the harder to find images done for the company at this time. A perfect example of commercial art at it's very finest during the golden age of advertising art!
