Spanish flyers

Oh, the wonderful ephemera you can stumble upon. Check this quirky collection of Spanish pharmaceutical and healthcare ads found on Flickr. Originally published in magazines distributed to rural medical clinics or ‘Clínica Rural’ in the late sixties and early seventies, these vintage ads have just the right blend of Madison Avenue-inspired typography and psychedelic groovitude.

This stuff is great. I'm keeping that link for inspiration and personal artwork. Now I just need clients that actually want something as hip as this.

This may very well be the coolest thing I've ever seen.

And it just keeps getting better... since my original post, Flickr user Ex novo has added another 25 ads to the collection. My current fave is a toss up between the Nico-Hepatocyn Lemonhead and the Colirio Oculos Dexa-Vasocontrictor Overprint Girl.

Glad you like it mod*mom. Judging by some of the sixties ephemerabilia you've been posting on your own site, this collection of adverts will fit right in. Just make sure to credit the original source.
