advertisement, vintage, way back wednesday

Bavarian Frigidaire?


I’m a sucker for European style. There’s something about the tradition that goes into so much of their artistry that just moves me and makes me feel connected to my ancestors—most of the time.

When I saw this ad I was first shocked, admittedly thinking to myself, “Is this what happens when Bavarian painters play practical jokes?“ But, as I explored the image a bit more it started to grow on me. I’m not sure if it is the fact that the Mom’s dress matches the paint in the kitchen, or that her red apron draws the viewers eye directly to the middle of the page (where the focus is the bright white refrigerator,) but I dig it. It makes me want to have jaeger schnitzel and twirl around on a country mountain top.

A thought to leave you with…why is it that so many refrigerator ads feature a full-size ham AND Jell-O molds in the image?
