1932 – HENRY EHLERS :: During one of my recent strolls through a flea market I was fortunate enough to find two advertising art magazines published in 1932 titled, Gebrauchs Graphik - Editions number 5 and 8. They are filled with examples of newspaper ads, posters, folders...from a period where the majority of display type was crafted by hand. Colour printing was expensive, so black and white was the name of the game. Attached are a few examples of beautifully designed ads by Henry Ehlers, for a powerful brand that is even more powerful today. Please note the hand drawn BMW logos...classic.
