Travel Ephemera

While rummaging through FFFFound.com I found this great online gallery (the site design is hard on the eyes) of graphic design examples from the 1920s and 1930s. You can definitely see how this early work inspired designers like Brockmann and Crouwel.

On a shameless side note, if anyone has an extra FFFFound invite I would be more than happy to take it off your hands.
