Worst Advertisement Ever, Or Your Money Back!

[JPK Huson 1863]

This may seem a waste of a thread but HAD to post another era ad from Library of Congress. Pretty addicted to the war's backdrop. Not ' just ' armies, camps, hospitals, horses and officers existing in some fantastic bubble al by themselves but the world in which it all took place. It's why ads and newspapers, clothing, homes and even gossip seemingly unrelated to the war are so interesting. Some things are interesting and well, just, plain bizarre. Copyright a 10 years post war, maybe shell shock......... ( sorry )

I like the ad a lot. Reminds me of the old Renaissance Italian painter Acrimboldo...

Also, there is a little O'Keefe in there....

All of these just guarantee no one is eating any time soon- and believe it or not, have never been an O'Keefe fan. That would be why. Always makes me wish to say ' OH for goodness sake Georgia, go get dressed '.

My late Mom was big O'Keefe fan, so I am a little more familiar with her work than the other famous painters of her era. Mom like flowers....

No, just anticipating any boo's. They would have been deserved.

Georgia O'keefe makes me very uncomfortable.
I'm not sure how to feel about food that looks like it wants to fight back. At least Lewis Carroll's oysters just went running.

I LOVE Georgia O'Keefe, but then I lived in her beloved New Mexico for awhile.

For my $.02, I am a big Georgia O'Keefe fan. I find her work provocative, never boring. The museum in Santa Fe is extraordinary, IMO.

Well. I for one am glad you didn't clam up. Eh? Eh?

Not around here! You get a crown, throne and horse you rode in on. We adore bad jokes!
