Vast Private Collection of Vintage Print Advertisements Showcased in New Online Library

PRLog (Press Release) - Sep. 12, 2011 - A vast private collection of vintage print advertisements from the mid 1800s to early 1900s is now available in an online library comprised of over 35 categories showcasing various aspects of life at the turn of the 20th century.  The library can be viewed at the new website: http://www.jaypaull.com.  The site, which displays the collection for the first time publicly, creates a diverse historical record not found elsewhere on the web of products, services, transportation, educational institutions, literature, art, organizations and many other factors that shaped the lives of early Americans during this particular era.

Jay Paull, who operates the site, is pleased to make the collection available for others to enjoy.  “It’s highly unusual to have this many ads, some over 170 years old, together and in excellent condition that reveal such varied aspects of life from that period,” he says.  “The wide range of subjects and topics will appeal to virtually anyone’s interests.”

The website http://www.jaypaull.com, which is constantly expanding as more and more ads from the collection are digitized, is designed for easy navigation and creates a unique repository of print advertisements concentrated on that historical period.  The library’s rich content can be viewed without charge and the advertisements are not for sale.
