That reminds me. I keep thinking there has got to be something to fit this group about Día de los Muertos. There’s so much amazing art around it!
But even though I can find amazing art, everything is either not an ad, or not vintage, or both. Anyway, it isn’t too much celebrated where I live so I bet someone from Mexico or maybe SoCal could do it better.
I can find loads of current/ recent stuff (especially Cerveza Victoria & La Costeña), but I can’t seem to find online any still/print día de muertos ads from before ~2015 (I can find a few TV spots from the 2000s), & I don’t know if that’s my lack of search skills or it was just less exploited commercially in the past.
My experience exactly!
I do have a postal stamp but I guess it’s not quite vintage and it looks in bad shape.
The thing is, día de muertos as a tradition is not something that has ever needed to be advertised. Promo for events around the tradition is what would fit this comm. But who knows if now vintage ones have ever been archived. I’ll try to look for some examples!
That’d be awesome! Fingers crossed you can find something. It’d really benefit from someone with actual knowledge, IMO.
I was surprised some months ago to get a print invitation to one of these events in a metro station in Mexico City. It really felt inviting, since most of these are centralized in one or two local arenas that run a monopoly on wrestling shows. I love it when I get something like this, maybe because this is the only social network I use and people usually focus on internet invitations nowadays, neglecting the personal, physical, close invitation.
