21. One of the more simple ad designs by Church.

 

 

Simple, but beautiful in its simplicity. A dying art form, I'm afraid.

 

I can't believe how much time he must have put into the half-toning alone. There is a huge body of academic literature on how to do this with computer algorithms. It's a deceptively difficult problem to place the dots so that they appear completely random to the eye and some very smart computer scientists worked on the problem for decades. A dying art indeed.

27. I've done a search for "Kistler's Komments" with some success. I'm not sure what it is in reference to, but it appears to have been an in-house book published in Denver containing jokes, stories & advertisements. One of the prettier covers from Edgar Church dating 1912.

 

After doing some research, this in-house book was made by the W. H. Kinstler Stationary Co.
