Newspaper Stocking Against Newspaper Ads - "CHROMEQUEEN"
1962

A vintage newspaper advertisement page with a large, irregular black burn mark obscuring much of the content. The visible sections advertise various household items such as draperies and furniture refinishing services, with graphics and text typical of mid-20th-century print media. The paper is yellowed with age, and the typography includes bold, attention-grabbing headlines.
