Ad Card

A 3-card period-faithful Victorian/Edwardian reconstruction of a ~1904 Schlitz ad claiming physician endorsement for nursing mothers — before the FDA, FTC, or Prohibition existed to stop it.

A 3-card 1940s period-faithful reconstruction of SLIM-ETTS Reducing Wafers for Children — a fictional but period-plausible OTC pharmaceutical ad for amphetamine-based diet tablets marketed to overweight kids with no prescription required, doctor-endorsed, sold at the drugstore for 75¢. Card A is the full reconstructed magazine ad in authentic Saturday Evening Post pharmaceutical layout. Card B is a Saturday Evening Post era-context cover (October 11, 1947) explaining the pre-1962 regulation-free landscape. Card C is the modern-impossibility note citing four simultaneous modern legal barriers.

A 3-card period-faithful Art Deco reconstruction of Lucky Strike's 1925–1929 "Reach for a Lucky Instead of a Sweet" campaign — the first major US tobacco ad campaign targeted directly at women, linking cigarettes to slimness during the Jazz Age flapper era.
