  1. Hi.
    Great picture. Could you let me know if I might be able to use it to illustrate a book I´m writing? What would be the conditions for this, as far as you know? DO you have similar ones showing the stereotypical "American Way of Life" in the 50s?
    You can reach me at damoscou@club-internet.fr
    Thanks. D.

  2. The artwork would have belonged to the people who commissioned it, namely Ford, and we can't imagine them having any objection to people reproducing their advertisements for free... but in any event under US law, reproduction "for purposes such as criticism,
    comment, news reporting, teaching (including multiple copies for classroom use),
    scholarship, or research, is not an infringement of copyright"

    We'll go though our collection and see what else may fit your interest, and send by e-mail.
