Time Travel - Lessons From The Past

Why are we so obsessed with the idea of "vintage" & "retro"? I'll admit it, I love the Mad Men-esque 1960's styles that are so prevalent in today's pop culture. But why is that? Are we intrigued because these are times in which we never lived?

Whatever the reasoning, I love this find via @aestheticapparatus - This alphabet series was created in 1954 for CBS Television by artist Jim Flora. Beautiful "retro" work, wouldn't you say?
