Zallinger’s mural is enough to give this book five stars. Scientific accuracy is outdated but Artistic genuineness is timeless.

Totally enjoying this

Really a fun read

I imagined in a funny way that Piranesi is Mickey Mouse as the sorcerer’s apprentice, and The Other as The Sorcerer! Especially with all the water and waves! 🧹🧹🧹🌊🌊🌊!

This book strongly exemplifies:
“A picture worth a thousand words”
Sometimes I drop the text completely and look at the pictures.
But also:
“A video worth a thousand pictures “!
Some of the explanations I get by looking at the pictures, but some I struggle to grasp from the illustrations and needed to look it up in YouTube

Horrific 😮!

😮 I’m flabbergasted!

First time reading manga, the speech bubbles can be odd and a little confusing! They point at two characters but you have to guess who’s talking based on the context!

اكثر من رائع!

Reminiscing on these old ads, one gets to thoroughly realize that we millennials grew up in the “climax” of the 20th century. We are today in the inception of the 21st century, so it slightly resembles the 20th but clearly on its way to something profoundly different…for example, the “printed ad” is becoming a historical practice today!
The soul, feel, dreams of 20th C differs from today.

I find my self torn between experiencing this via my contemporary mind that will analyze, dissect and read between the lines of a world part of it I wasn’t around, part of it a toddler and part of it a child.
Or put on my child simulation hat and look at the pictures as the child I was, with wonder!
I ended up doing 70% child mode, 30% adult !

An encyclopedia of Greeblies ?!
