The 19th century saw the birth of branding, with companies like Quaker Oats and Coca-Cola establishing recognizable identities. Advertisements began to focus on brand loyalty.

The introduction of lithography and chromolithography allowed for colorful, illustrated advertisements, making them more visually appealing.

The early 20th century witnessed a boom in print advertising, particularly with the expansion of magazines. Companies invested heavily in creative campaigns.

RelicPaper was conceived to find and curate vintage print ads like those. Based in Chicago, we have been finding and selling these print ads for over 20 years to collectors worldwide.
