The Best of Scanning Around with Gene: Summertime Scans
With much of the United States sweltering in a heat wave, it’s the perfect time to enjoy some of the coolest vintage summertime images from the Scanning Around With Gene series.
OH BOY, IT’S SUMMER! features the wholesome images of kids at play in the sunshine from the 1956 children’s book Summer Is Here.
The travel posters in SUMMER WANDERLUST tempt you spend your summer vacation in some exotic locales around the globe.
And you can quench your thirst for great graphics with the vintage beverage ads in DRINK UP TO SUMMER!
Enjoy (and stay cool)!
