- Description
- Design for a Skol sunscreen advertisement. At top of page, a black sun sends a yellow ray of light down to a photograph pasted on the page which shows the back of a woman in a bathing suit lying on her stomach in black and white. The image of the woman is surrounded by yellow shading. Above, the woman leading up to the sun, a blue sky with three white clouds. At center, halfway between the woman and the sun and intersecting the ray of light, a bottle of sunscreen labeled “SKOL” in black lettering on a white label. At center right, in black lettering: SKOL / SUN LOTION. Below, in graphite: PREVENTS BURNING / HELPS TANNING / NON-OILY / INVISIBLE. At top of page, in graphite: SUNBURN [remainder of the phrase is illegible due to the torn edge].
