from

John Bull magazine, 1951.



An advert for Walls Ice Cream, on the back page of a John Bull magazine.

She is wearing the most delicious red rubber mac. Unfortunately, (or perhaps it will enhance the whole thing?), large in the middle of the mac is the wrapped ice cream and a basket. She's a very attractive woman - the lips are magnificent in what Nobel prize winner V.S. Naipul described as 'war time red'.
My goodness, after a night at the pictures with her, one would have had to wash the handkerchief oneself. Mother'd been furious. But she is so reminiscent of those lovely rubbery times.
