Corn cereals - vintage Soviet advertisements
This blog is about old postcards, book illustration and all kinds of paper whimsy from the Soviet Union. I'm a long time collector, and this blog is 7 years old. I have an etsy shop for cards, books, pins and vintage finds from Russia.
Vintage matchbox labels - corn-based food (soup, cereal, oil, salad etc.)
Chromolithograph postcard advertising cigarettes by the A. Koilyu’s Merchant House. Early 1900s.
This style is kind of my guilty pleasure. So much going on on a tiny piece of paper; rugs, flowers, medals, fonts, gold embossing - ooh! :)
Antique promo postcard by Эйнемъ /Einem/, a Russian confectionery factory (later known as the Red October in the USSR) - 1890s. It advertises a chocolate bar called “Take It If You Can” that had this design on the wrapper.
Soviet ready-made confectioneries. Most of these are widely produced to this day.
OK I gotta have a cup of tea now.
