Harvard University Press Advertising Empire
Book SynopsisTracing commercial imagery across different products and media, this title shows how and why the 'African native' had emerged by 1900 to become a familiar figure in the German landscape, selling everything from soap to shirts to coffee.Trade ReviewAn original, finely crafted, accessible, and superbly researched work. A welcome combination of visual cultural analysis of modern advertising and German colonial history, Ciarlo's book is an important contribution. -- Janet Ward, University of Nevada Las VegasA stunning, breakthrough book; easily the most important new work on the colonial and racial imagination in pre-World War I Germany in nearly a decade. In startling detail, Ciarlo shows us a new landscape of consumer advertising that shaped German attitudes towards imperialism, the colonies, and racial hierarchies. He also convincingly demonstrates Germany's prewar drift into a deeper, troubling, racial modernity. Brilliant, eye-opening scholarship. -- Helmut Walser Smith, Vanderbilt UniversityA daring and imaginative book. Ciarlo sketches out a vision of German modernity in which domestic politics, colonial competition, and the transnational trade in products and prejudice combined with new methods of mass advertising to populate daily life with nightmarish images of racial antagonism. Ciarlo's startling work is sure to change how we view Imperial Germany and what was to follow. -- Jonathan Zatlin, Boston UniversityCiarlo's book shows, in original and compelling detail, just how richly historians will benefit from taking the study of the visual seriously. Whether in its analysis of advertising per se, or in its careful reading of the interrelations linking imperialist expansion, commodification, racial difference, and mass mediation, Advertising Empire joins a widening circle of exciting new scholarship on the contest of early twentieth-century German modernities. -- Geoff Eley, University of MichiganThis outstanding book has original arguments to make about the connection between the rise of modern advertising culture and the subjugation of colonial peoples. Ciarlo explains why racial images came to be so widely used in advertisements, and he analyses with great skill how those images worked. Boldly framed and sharply written, his thoughtful and important work shows just what historians can achieve through the careful, imaginative analysis of visual images. I recommend Advertising Empire with enthusiasm. -- David Blackbourn, Harvard UniversityCiarlo has written an extremely smart, provocative book linking the rise of German modern advertising and aesthetics with imperialism and racism at the fin-de-siècle...Throughout a profusely and richly illustrated text, Ciarlo concentrates on one aspect of German advertising, namely, the culture of race, through a discussion of images that were reproduced in a myriad of venues from newspapers, magazines, posters, store windows, matchbooks, and the sides of trams and buses, to tins and boxes. One forgets that the massive duplication of images is only about 100 years old; the Germans excelled at both the industrial and artistic techniques that produced new forms of advertising. -- M. Deshmukh * Choice *

Hatje Cantz Anita Albus (Bilingual edition): Die Kunst zu
Book SynopsisAt first glance, Anita Albus’s artistic practice seems like a welcome anachronism in the midst of the fast pace of contemporary art production: the artist creates detailed images of plants and animals using color pigments she makes herself. She is inspired, among other things, by the still lifes of the Old Masters. With her art, Albus moves at the intersection of meticulous nature research and creative work – the results are paradise-like illustrations that the artist also publishes in the children’s books she has written. In 2004, Kunsthalle Kiel purchased a convolute of her works and published the accompanying book The Art of Seeing. The new edition of this enchanting survey volume invites the reader on a discovery tour of Albus’s artistic research.

Taschen GmbH 20th Century Alcohol & Tobacco Ads. 40th Ed.
Book SynopsisVices or virtues: drinking and smoking provided marketers with products to be forged into visual feasts. In this lush compendium of advertisements, we explore how depictions of these commodities spanned from the elegant to the offbeat, revealing how manufacturers prodded their customers throughout the 20th century to imbibe and inhale. Each era’s alcohol and tobacco trends are exuberantly captured page after page, with brand images woven into American popular culture so effectively that almost anyone could identify such icons as the Marlboro Man or Spuds MacKenzie, figures so familiar they could appear in ads without the product itself. Other advertisers devised clever and subliminal approaches to selling their wares, as the wildly successful Absolut campaign confirmed. Even doctors contributed to an improbable propaganda, testifying that smoking could calm your nerves and soothe your throat, while hailing liquor as an elixir capable of bringing social success. Whether you savor these visual delights, or enjoy inhaling and wallowing in forbidden pleasures, you will certainly be thrilled by this exploration of a decidedly vibrant—and sometimes controversial—chapter of advertising history.Trade Review“These are the ads that wooed us, and our parents, and our parents’ parents, over to the dark side of smokes and booze.” * Esquire *“… the 100-year-long tale of how advertising tried to get consumers hooked.” * The Guardian *“A wonderful selection of the kitsch and the bizarre.” * Creative Review *
