Sanford’s Glue Ads and Packaging

on November 13, 2012 in Advertising, Packaging with No comments

So I recently discovered the blog Letterology, and I’m quickly falling in love. Check out his post on Sanford’s Glue for the rest of his images. The image from the catalog is from the 1800s, and the postcard is from 1904. He also has an ad from 1928, but you’ll have to go there to see it :)

Isn’t it cool to see the ephemera surrounding an item? It puts it in context and brings it to life. I feel like I’m shopping in the 1800s!

These were illustrated by Dr.Louis Crusius in the late 1800s and weren’t published until 1901. If you’re interested in the history of these and the illustrator, head to the original, full post by Letterology. He goes in depth on the facts and has a few more photos.
