Yes, clip art is boring and cliché, but looking at the cliché’s of the past makes them seem new, ironic and way cooler than they ever were at the time. As they say in archeology (okay Raiders of the Lost Ark, but still) if you bury a cheap watch in the desert 1,000 years later it’s priceless. I feel the same way about these great bits of historical ephemera.
