For all of you graphic design lovers out there, Free Vintage Posters has a pretty nice collection of food-related posters and vintage advertisements from around the world (which happen to be free for you to use!). The above turn-of-the-century ad is for the French cookie company Pernot, which was operational from 1869 to 1963. Now why don’t ads look like this anymore?
