Until the late 1960s, lacquer decals (soaked in water and applied
to hard surfaces) were a small visual part of every American
consumer's life. They served as advertising signage, announced
brand names, instructions, and safety warnings, and were a cheap
and classy way to decorate almost anything. Today, decals are
obsolete technology kept alive by nostalgic hobbyists, restorers,
and collectors. This is the first book written to immortalize
decals and present an overview of their slick and amusing designs
that were innovative in the 1950s and '60s. Chapters cover travel,
girlie, Lady Luck, X-ray glasses, hotrods, monsters, aliens, and
advertising images. Today, graphic designers, pop art buffs, and
champions of visual icons will applaud the fantastic designs that
fill these pages. Decals are gone, but not forgotten.
