Marget Larsen, ad for Du Pont’s Color Council. As seen in Art Direction: The Magazine of Creative Advertising, vol. 11, no. 8, November 1959.

Larsen was super inventive in many ways – and, like most women in design history, criminally under-appreciated. We can’t wait to share more of her work.

Was reading all about the fascinating history of the Ford Edsel the other night, in "New Yorker" columnist John Brooks' "Business Adventures" (see further down my feed for the review), and one of the most surprising things I learned through it is that the Edsel station wagon is the HOTTEST FREAKING CAR I'VE EVER SEEN
