[QUOTE="Diogenes, post: 54628, member: 91"] Green background? Yes, as you can see the heading "Motor Cycling" at the top of the 'David Wright' version. Again, probably a nod towards the "Green Un" nickname for 'Motor Cycling', and consistent with the possible choice of blue background for the advert in 'The Motor Cycle'. Maybe someone knows the date this advert was published in 'Motor Cycling'? Shanghai wrote "It measures approx. 58cm x 47cm & certainly gives he impression that it was printed way before "photoshop"was even heard of let alone a computer." Sorry for the misunderstanding - when I wrote "Maybe the yellow version is a Photoshop reworking of the 1949 Advertisement?" I was using 'Photoshop' as shorthand word for any technique used in Art departments for modifying photos and pictures, before publishing. Looking at the boundaries of the 'yellow bits' it does not look like the work of a competent Photoshop operator, but more like the results of brush work typical of the techniques used in 1940s/1950s. I did not mean to suggest a computer was used. Jim Richardson, tongue in cheek?, wrote "Do you think that the young ladies luggage has been sent on ahead by truck?" The answer is no, as those who recall the 1940s in UK will understand. Clothes were rationed, and not so easy to get, even though a Black Market flourished, so the young lady's luggage would probably have been modest in volume. But I agree that those Vincent panniers are too small for long trips abroad.
