Four EXQUISITE ads for Baker R&L Motor Co., 1914-16

These are very pretty! Actually, I like a lot of things about these ads. The family in the first ad looks Asian, but there's no hint of stereotypes or racism that I can see. I also like the way the ads depict women positively as people who can actually operate a motorcar competently. The ad copy also doesn't talk down to you. What the hell happened to advertising after this time?

Absolutely stunning!

I love these ads! I've seen a few of them on flickr, but not in such good quality. They would be great as posters.

These are glorious!

Very bright and pretty! But who is driving in that last one? I hope they're just parked there!
