Above: Schneekoppe muesli advertisement , 1983.
Above: Alpine salt advertisement detail. You turn the page and see the actual packaging. But imagine if packages really were this lovely, and even better, this anonymous? Wouldn't supermarkets (and our food cupboards) be beautiful?
Above: OK, not quite a food advertisement but pretty cute: kitchen notepads from Carina magazine, the sadly long defunct teen offshoot of Burda. In 1981 that magazine was gorgeous.
ABOUT AENNE BURDA: "A symbol of the German [post-war] economic miracle" according to Wikipedia, Aenne Burda (who actually lived from 1909 - 2005) was a remarkable woman: reading the article she seems more Oprah than Martha, given her combination of power, broad interests and philanthropric bent. Thanks Aenne, you had a huge impact on the lives of many women around the world who love to make things, including mine!
