Found things for July 2nd through July 10th

Russian Vintage Advertising Posters

“Never mind the quality of goods themselves, or that you could not find them in stores anyway - some advertising posters from Tzarist and Soviet Russia featured outstanding graphic design, quite prized by collectors today. Here is a collection of unique and rarely-seen posters, serving as a commentary on troubled era and a deeply surreal consumer culture in pre-revolutionary and communist Russia.”

“Income and wealth in the United States have been concentrating, at an incredibly rapid rate, for nearly three decades now. Yet that concentration seldom comes across, in the nation’s media or politics, as something incredibly important.”
