ModernVintageAds

Not quite, though we're flattered you asked! Our prints are original designs, freshly conceived in this timeline by our (somewhat temporally displaced) creative team. They are inspired by classic advertising styles from the 20th century but are created to satirize today's unique problems. Think of them as "lost art" from a past that humorously understood your present!

Only the best for our anachronistic masterpieces! Each print is crafted on premium, museum-grade archival matte paper (typically 175 g/m² or 189 g/m²) to ensure excellent printing fidelity. We use top-tier pigmented archival inks for vibrant colors and stunning, exhibition-ready results that will last for ages (or at least until the next temporal mishap!).

Our prints are sold unframed, allowing you the flexibility to choose a frame that perfectly matches your decor and the print's unique vintage vibe. The mockups in our listings are for illustrative purposes to help you envision how fabulous they'll look on your walls!

We (and our trusted print partners) take great care to ensure your new art arrives safely. Prints are typically rolled and shipped in sturdy tubes, or for smaller sizes, packaged securely in rigid flat mailers to prevent bending or damage.

Absolutely! While our standard offerings go up to 18x18 inches, Whitney "Whit" Sterling and our team love a good challenge. If you're envisioning one of our designs as a larger statement piece, please send us a message with your desired dimensions. We'll check with our temporal (and terrestrial) print associates and get back to you with possibilities and a quote!

Each print is made to order especially for you! Please allow approximately [e.g., 2-5 business days] for our print partners to meticulously create your artwork before it embarks on its journey to your doorstep.

Once your print is produced (see "Production Time" above), estimated shipping times are:

USA: Approximately [e.g., 3-7 business days]

International: Approximately [e.g., 7-21 business days] Please remember these are estimates, and actual delivery times can vary due to carrier services, customs (for international orders), and peak seasons.

We want you to be thrilled with your piece of "mis-timed" history! If your print arrives damaged or with a clear print defect, please contact us within 7 days of delivery, including a photo of the issue. We'll gladly work with you to arrange a replacement or other suitable solution.

Because each print is custom made to order, we generally do not accept returns or exchanges for reasons such as ordering the wrong size or a change of mind. We encourage you to review all details carefully before purchasing.

Ah, a fellow connoisseur of the curious! Whitney "Whit" Sterling is our chief archivist and the discerning eye behind our collection. For the full, slightly bewildering tale of how these ads came to be, we invite you to peruse the "About Modern Problems, Vintage Ads" section on our main shop page. It involves a peculiar archive and a delightful enigma!
