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)!

EDITORS – Gene Gable is a treasure and obviously missed. Do what you can to get him pack to providing new content, thanks!
Great to see Gene’s work again! Began following him when he launched his printing press adventure, and enjoy seeing the evolution of printing processes and advertising, and how everything eventually comes back around.
So glad you are back sharing these fun images. Brings back many fond memories.
Welcome back, Gene!
LOVE it! Good to see you back Gene!

Nice to see Gene back. I still have his seminar books my library. !!
Is that Dick and Jane? I hate to admit that this brings back fond memories of grade school, and “Fun with Dick and Jane.”
