Not sure. I bet it's pretty vintage. It's displayed at MoMa New York 2nd floor design section.

I loved this piece of advertising when it was first concepted by Leon Meadow and his art director back at the original Doyle Dane Bernbach, during the early 1960's.
As DDB alum, I'd like to see the eal creative genius get the salutations--not some creative thief who believes that no one will remember that far back.
When it is a great ad, that creativity lives for decades--and all you have to do is look back in the DDB archives and see the original. Even the art direction from that original ad is far superior to what this piece of advertising has to offer. And don't even get me started on the copy. Leon's copy was inspired--emotional, intellectual, and moving.
As a final note to all the swell-headed creatives who think they can get ahead by claiming the brilliance of years past-- you can't.

marty... my sister was googling dad's name and found this page with the great poster and your wonderful comments. question... is the poster pictured on this page my father's original ad? or is it a good knock-off of something else he did?
any idea where to get a copy!!?

The typography exhibitions at the MoMA were definitely the highlight of my visit.
I believe that you can purchase a reproduction print of this and most of their displayed Art at the MoMA store.
They have a 'print on demand' service that allows any print to be reproduced at 11' x 17' size.
