Nature’s air is best…

...for naked kite flying.

I know times have changed, but even back in the 1930s this must have struck people as odd.

You really have to read the ad to figure out what it’s for. Is it for kites? A nudist resort? Turns out it’s for a home heating system. The naked people are just meant to catch your eye. 😊 Interestingly, you probably couldn’t get away with an ad like this today.

Great ad for same-sex marriage. Especially if you flip the image so the happy couple looks into a bright future.

Right, Yudith. The image is further improved if you remove the kites and strings.

Um, Yudith and Virtual, I think the kneeling one is a girl. Maybe 10-11? Hair is in a bun, her facial features are more delicate than her standing friend's.
