Medicine and Madison Avenue

“This website explores the complex relationships between modern medicine and modern advertising, or ‘Madison Avenue,’ as the latter is colloquially termed. The Medicine and Madison Avenue Project presents images and database information for approximately 600 health-related advertisements printed in newspapers and magazines. These ads illustrate the variety and evolution of marketing images from the 1910s through the 1950s.”
