Beer Belongs, Large 1948 Magazine Ad with and 50 similar items

Title- "Wedding Anniversary"- the ad shows an older couple being toasted on their anniversary. This is one of several ads from this interesting series that we now have for sale. It was illustrated by Douglass Crockwell and is number 22 in the series "Home Life in America". History- Douglass Crockwell (1904 - 1968), was an American commercial artist who was most famous for his illustrations and advertisements for the Saturday Evening Post. He had a knack for getting the kind of assignments that were Norman Rockwellesque. His name was even similar to Rockwell's; too much, Crockwell thought, so he'd sign his name to hide the rhyming similarity: "Douglas," "DC," or simply "D." Crockwell had his own style, however, and his incredible realism and facility with subjects ranging from war to illness to family reunions made him one of the most popular artists of the 1940s and 50s. His longest ad campaign was for The Brewing Industry Association. After WWII, the Association created the "Beer Belongs" series, featuring other top illustrators (Gannam, Dohanos, Schaeffer, Briggs, Sundblom), but the majority were still done by Crockwell.
