A small, glorious interstitial illustration in a Sunkist booklet:

Bonus: cute cover of lemon booklet.

Brand new to my collection, published in 1916, this Sunkist cookbook has no color illustrations other than the outside & inside covers, but oh, what covers!  That peeled orange/glass of lemonade with lemon slices is really choice.

Originals of this 1938 ad seem to go for at least $50, and that is not within my permitted ephemera spending limits.  And it breaks my goddamn heart.

I console my self with long, long looks at this, the inside cover of a Sunkist recipe book, probably my favorite vintage illustration of all, and safely my own.  It's already been posted on this blog but merits repeating.

Sugar used to be promoted nearly as a health force, a fine source of essential "food energy (common phrase) and downright wholesome.   Look at that small picture of the sugar scoop pouring used to connote nourishing goodness!  Still love this ad.

Ordinarily, depictions of people in a given piece of ephemera ruin it for me.  But the little illustration in the center saves this one.
