I wish we could go back to the good old days when advertising was classy, tasteful and not trying to sell everything with sex and... oh... oh dear.

How to sell towels to ladies during WW2....

Thread... yes there are more...
They were made in 1943/1944, as far as I know there were no complaints, no controversy, just some distracted readers... I think...
Illustrations by James Bingham, Stevan Dohanos & Fred Ludekens.

I'm of course appalled by the objection of young handsome half naked men.
Even the Tank Corps boys knew how to appreciate Roman baths.
And no, that's not Hitler in the water.
Why don't we never see this in WW2 movies and series?
Not sure why but I just ordered a whole set.
The company still exists, would be funny if they suddenly got a lot of towel orders and they just don't understand how or why.

Found another gem on the Dutch real estate website.
A lovely little church in the 'Amsterdamse School' style, built in 1926 and clearly inhabited by a fellow time traveller, just wait till you see inside.

Decorated with respect to the design and character of the building but filled with lots of interesting and weird old stuff.
Yep.
Time traveller. Image

Sailors of HMS Rattlesnake bathing, drawing made by their captain Owen Stanley in the late 1840s while under orders to survey the inner route along the Great Barrier Reef and to chart the southern coast of New Guinea.
He made many drawings, a few in this thread: Image

This is how conspiracies are born.
Someone who doesn't understand old art (and may have problems seeing) thinks that this painting shows that Queen Mary I was brown and the painting later (literally) whitewashed to hide that but they forgot one hand...

Thinking that for a second is fine, but actually believing it and making a whole CSI video about it... that's daft.
Here's the biggest version of the painting I could find.
If we take a closer look at her brown hand...
We see that she's just wearing & holding a folded glove. Image
Image
Claiming that famous historical figures, especially royals, were not the skin colour everybody thinks they had is quite popular online.
It's weird.

Anyway, some more glove posers: Image

Nice to see an online paper that reaches so many people talk about this subject.
But seeing healthy people during the Black Death would have been very normal.
Not everyone looked sick right away or at the same time.
A thread. Image
I think this person describes these kind of ai videos very accurately, brilliant, what a wonderful insight, who is this wonderful lady, oh wait, hang on. Image
Sigh, the "It's not a documentary" excuse is so tiresome.
It's just a slightly less silly sounding way of saying "I couldn't bother to do research", "I don't really care about history" or "Ai do bleep bloop beep boop and its cool and I make money so yay". Image
