| User Reviews |  | Nice images, but cheap printing job
rating: 4
I have purchased a number of Anne Taintor cards over the years, individually in museum shops. This boxed set contains the same images, but the printing is not the crisp, bright, and enhanced-reality sort of work that I've seen before. On the other hand, they are a lot cheaper than the individual cards.

Something for everyone
rating: 5
These cards are hilarious. There are a lot I've seen before, such as the Domestically Disabled picture. But there were so many I hadn't seen yet as well! All of them really funny. I really was tempted to keep them for myself and get more for my friends and family.

Bitingly, wonderfully clever
rating: 5
Ah, another day in the domestic paradise of the mid twentieth century woman. Cleaning, laundry and shopping to do, dinner to make - it's a good thing Anne Taintor is here to tell us what's really going on in those (now) unfathomably cheesy adverts from the 1940s-60s. The photos are artful and quaint, but it is the captions that are the showcase of this set. The captions are cleverly turned with a healthy dose of mild, PG13 sarcasm and poke fun at society's portrayals of the female domestic role without sounding bitter. Highly recommended for that witty, sarcastic and only slightly jaded special someone you may know.
