General Electric Fan Advertisement Postcard

This is a wonderful advertisement postcard that seems to show a GE fan powering a Dutch windmill. The back of the card also shows a fan.

  3. Love the graphics on this. Just think, there have to be 4 in this series. There's a challenge for you. Find the last 3.

  4. Fascinating that we went from wind power to electric power and now wind power is coming back gangbusters!

  5. What a lovely graphic - I must admit, at a glance I didn't get the concept that the fan was powering the windmill . . .

  6. Yeah, not only is it powering the windmill, it is turning our poor Dutch damsel's skirt, bonnet and kerchief into sails!! The message is pretty clear- new school electric wind kicks old school natural wind in the butt- and a clever use of the continuous but broken horizon. It is a beautiful card though, and I like the challenge to find the other 3 quarters!
