Hockey Art (paintings, statues, murals, poems, lyrics, newspaper drawings, editorial cartoons, etc)

Two advertising pieces. 1949 Maurice Richard for Vitalis and circa 1961 Henri Richard for Kik Cola.

^^^ Great old ads from the early post WW2 years.... That is absolutely something else that a major baker would brand his bread after The Rocket. Never seen anything close to that elsewhere. Had the famous Wheaties boxes with pictures of various sports stars on them but still, called "Wheaties", but never a staple product like bread. Endorsements for food & drink products & so on sure but not a "title". Branded after. Not during that era & few since.... Gretzky & a few others have wines, cottage breweries have named beers after players but all of that fairly recent & named after as a lot of these guys bought wineries, or with the breweries "retro" labeling. Like Johnny Bower Pale Ale or whatever. All long retired players. Targeting the Boomer Generations. GenX .
