Hello,

I’m looking for an advertising photo from the 60-70s, black&white ( sephia) photo. A camera and/or film advertising photograph ( e.g. Fuji Camera / Fuji Film).

A young couple sitting a small round table in a square ( probably San Marco Square) and drinking coffee from a single tall glass with straws.

And there was an advertising brand camera on the table.

Thank you.

Welcome to Photrio.
I've tweaked your thread title a bit, because it might help draw interest to your quest.
Hope you succeed.

Knowing the language used in the advertisement would narrow the field down.
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.
There was no text in the advertisement besides the camera and/or film name. There was only the photo whose details I gave (as far as I can remember) and the brand's name on it.
Regards.

That narrows it down to about five million ads over 20 years. You're going to have to narrow it down to the film or camera to get it under five thousand possibilities. Are you sure it wasn't a cigarette or liquor ad?

I'm absolutely sure it's not a cigarette or liquor commercial. Since I couldn't remember the camera's name or film, I depicted the scene in that photo.

Boshocic, if you haven't already done then isn't it possible to ask the question on a social media site which I think will be much larger audience than Photrio by showing the audience the picture which you are looking at. Yes the audience will not be only those interested in such things as we are on Photrio but sheer numbers on the like of Twitter etc might make it easier

Just out of curiosity, if you have the picture then is there any reason why you haven't shown it to us?

To all members now, is there a rule that new members need a certain number of posts before they can post a photo?

It seems clear that the OP doesn't have the photo, they remember the photo.

Thanks Matt I went back to the OP's post and yes as I found out on a re-read I had assumed rather than read the actual word "for" but instead assumed word of "at"

So sorry Boshocic Ignore my suggestion and I wish you as xkaes has said good luck as well

If it's an ad that might have appeared in a camera magazine, books.google.com has many digitized issues of Popular Photography, you could go to issues for the approximate time period and page through them, you might get lucky.

You could always try one the the MANY AI generative websites (usually free) to create the photo as best you can by describing it -- and then post that.

I tried to do it with artificial intelligence on fotor.com, but it could not do it.
