Yes, it is! At SROK Ads we deal exclusively in original vintage ads, prints, maps, postcards and anything else we find & sell. This means that all items that have a date attributed to them, are actually from that time! 

SROK Ads has been collecting vintage magazines and newspapers for over 25 years and as such has a large collection already in-house – though it is ever growing! 

Most of our items come from vintage Dutch, British, American, German and French magazines and newspapers, such as:

• Country Life, The Graphic, Illustrated London News
• L’Illustration, Paris Match, Le Figaro
• Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant (NRC), Utrechts Dagblad, Haagsche Courant en Nieuwe Haagse Courant
• Die Woche, Illustrirte Zeitung

Yes, we certainly do! We have an estimated 100.000 different original magazine advertisements available (which is why we don’t have them all in the webshop…). If you are looking for something specific, whether a brand or a  theme, and you are unable to find it in the webshop, please don’t hesitate to contact us. 

Send an email with a description of what you’re looking for (topic, age, size – topic being the most important) to ads@srok.nl and we will get back to you as soon as possible.

Because framing a picture (choosing the material, colour, passe partout etc.,) is such a personal choice, we leave that bit up to you!
