Body = Machine: A Series
One of my favorite ad tropes is the Body=Machine/Body=Factory idea, because the imagery is often more detailed and also more hilarious than in most ads. As a kid I used to LOVE any illustrations of the body that depicted tiny workers inside, such as The Human Body, for example. :D This link to a book about Fritz Kahn's Der Mensch als Industriepalast is also fascinating (although not advertisement). Brief video version of that book HERE (well worth 3 minutes of your time.) This series of articles and illustrations in the same vein (XD) appeared in the Berliner Morgenpost in 1931 and is simply breathtaking.

I'm not so sure I'd be happy if it was a woman though. Can she see out of my eyes? I'm gonna have to start making sure I have clothes on whenever I'm around any mirrors. Wow. The poor things that little person has had to see and put up with over the years. It's a wonder she hasn't quit.
