Here are my four favorite Linotype (obviously) scans:
1. Charles Darwin for the “revolutionary” (get it?!) Linoterm: https://archive.org/details/linoterm-brochure/mode/2up
2. The slightly-sexist “Turn your typist into a typesetter” advert: https://archive.org/details/linotype-as-easy-as-1-2-3
3. The line drawings on this one from the German Linotype company: https://archive.org/details/linotype-systems-brochure/mode/2up
4. The harsh green and vibe of this 1960s Linofilm Perforator ad: https://archive.org/details/mergenthaler-linoquick-perforator/mode/2up

@onpaperwings one of those reminds me that you just don’t see fellas wearing button down collared shirts under long sleeve sweaters that much anymore. Also: I bet you $10 that if those illos were in color those sweaters would be camel-hair beige.
