A really great site for students created by Trevor Millum who studied History at Birmingham University before completing a PhD at the Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies in Visual Communication in Advertising. It is based on his PhD thesis with added content including advice on analysing images and further images added from the 21st century.
The original thesis was subsequently published as Images of Woman (by Chatto and Windus 1975) it was based on study of 6 magazines: Woman, Woman’s Own, Woman and Home, Honey, Nova and Petticoat. It has sections on beauty, health and style advertising. Under the more section there is a great image gallery of adverts 1970-2018
