			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is the Harp Lounge, after all.</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s an ad for Pabst Blue Ribbon beer, date early-mid 1940s, I think, going by the pageboy hairstyle. A time when beer ads featured classy lassies wearing more than a bikini! (Artist placed the lady sitting way too far down the harp, incidentally. And sitting on the wrong side of it! Sorry, that&#8217;s my musician pedantry at work. <img src='http://www.harplounge.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p><a href="http://www.harplounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/harp-ad-011.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-76" title="harp-ad-01" src="http://www.harplounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/harp-ad-011.jpg" alt="Ad for Pabst Blue Ribbon featuring an elegant harpist with a one-stringed harp" width="390" height="524" /></a></p>
<p>Not sure exactly what this one&#8217;s about, but possibly hand lotion, as the copy reads &#8220;Reason for calluses on slim hands &#8211; harp playing&#8221;. Again sometime in the 1940s, and this time she&#8217;s on the correct side of the harp and at the right height!</p>
<p><a href="http://www.harplounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/harp-ad-021.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-77" title="harp-ad-02" src="http://www.harplounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/harp-ad-021.jpg" alt="" width="400" height="743" /></a></p>
<p>Here&#8217;s one for Bufferin for arthritis! 1950s.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.harplounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/harp-ad-03.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-78" title="harp-ad-03" src="http://www.harplounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/harp-ad-03.jpg" alt="Advertisement for Bufferin for arthritis - featuring an illustration of a harpist" width="400" height="603" /></a></p>
<p>And lastly for today, the harp being used for its connotations of elegance in this ad for wallpaper and furnishing fabric by Sanderson of England (click to embiggen). This was from a 1952 Australian <em>House and Garden</em> magazine.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.harplounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/harp-ad-04.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-79" title="harp-ad-04" src="http://www.harplounge.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/02/harp-ad-04-223x300.jpg" alt="Advertisement for Sanderson furnishings, featuring an illustration of a harp" width="223" height="300" /></a></p>
