Include three hundred and five print advertisements from the first fifty years of Revlon, Incorporated. The company created a dot system to provide a better understanding of the ways in which the advertisements were used. One red dot next to the advertisement indicates that there is a larger laminated advertisement. Two red dots indicate both laminated advertisements and unmounted proofs. Black dots indicate major promotional pieces. The dates and names of models, photographers, and advertising agencies are printed underneath the advertisements. Dates do not necessarily correspond with the dates on the advertisements themselves. The index also includes other Revlon brands. Materials were maintained in the order created by the company.
