Japanese in-train advertising from the 1950s: the Keirin/horseracing ones (set 5) are probably my favourite.

Futura was pretty rare post-war, wasn't it? It was designed in the 1920s.

^^ niiiiiice
Futura was pretty rare post-war, wasn't it? - you do see it used in A LOT of popular design from this era, though (including some stuff on this thread) - especially on paperbacks and posters. I was unaware that it was as old as the 20's. I guess I associate a lot of prewar design with Art Deco-style typefaces, but I do not profess to be an expert on the subject (even though I am a g. designer by trade lol).
I would love to read a comprehensive history of typography from the industrial age onward, if such a book exists (recommendations plz).

A german motion designer animated a bunch of "op art" book covers - half of which are in this thread.
I'm currently helping install the new SFMOMA and there's a design show that includes some gorgeous posters for the italian typewriter company Olivetti. A quick GIS for their posters brings up some great stuff:https://fishinkblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/fishinkblog-1857-olivetti-2.jpghttps://fishinkblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/12/fishinkblog-1856-olivetti-1.jpg

Olivetti is one of the great designer-friendly companies of the 20th century, both their product-design and their marketing.
From that small but special pantheon which also includes Geigy and Container Corporation of America.
