i love these images. have a couple of them hanging on my walls. these were for calendar and cigarette adverts, but became an art form unto itself (kinda like American pinups).
vintage calendar girls ads.
In 1896, commercial calendar ads came to Shanghai. 30 years later, calendars as a style of fashion became the necessary decoration of every family in Shanghai. Calendars built a warm, western and new world: pretty and generous women, healthy and lively kids, exotic home decorations, foreign goods or imitations of foreign goods…The calendars cover basic necessities of life, leisure, amusement, marriage and family. via.
