Description
Welcome to my listing for a lot of 9 vintage, original full-page printmagazine advertisements
for the
Hudson Motor Car Company,
dating approximately from 1910 to 1920.
These ads come from various magazines and are in various sizes, from the smallest ads (about 8" by 10", probably from
National Geographic
) to the largest (about 10" by 13", from the
Saturday Evening Post)
with several sizes in between. All these ads are in black and white only, no color.
These are the sort of ads you've probably seen at flea markets and antique malls, where dealers cut or tear individual ad pages from old magazines, place each one in a clear plastic bag with a sheet of thin cardboard as a backing, and sell them individually. I did not prepare these myself, but purchased them from a Hudson collector who seems to have acquired large amounts of them from such dealers over the years. Be aware that these ads may have small flaws such as light yellowing due to age, a ragged margin edge where cut or torn from the magazine, or slight wear corresponding to the outer edges of the magazine.
Also, smaller ads were sometimes taped to the middle of the larger cardboard using a single piece of clear tape along their bottom edge margin -- luckily, the preparer seems to have used a good quality or "archival" clear tape that has not yellowed or damaged the ad. N
one of them appear to be creased or significantly damaged, but expect slight "age" wear overall. Interesting and collectible for their historic value or for decorative purposes!
