Highway 61
Revisited
Back in the 1980s there used to be an ad for the Kodak Panatomic-X film in the photo magazines. The ad displayed the back of a woman laying in a sofa, sporting a beauty spot, and lit by what looked like daylight coming from an open window located behind the photographer, with nice shadows. This might very well have been a picture by Ralph Gibson (no actual idea). The text of the ad was about the film rendition and the unique film ability to display the skin grain and the beauty spot at the low end of the woman's back.
I liked that ad to no end and this might have been one of the few things which drove me into B&W film photography (I was around 14 at that time).
Unfortunately I never could find a copy of that ad anywhere, neither in salvaged papers from that era I could find at a friend's, nor on the Internet.
Some hints would be much appreciated. Thanks !

Thanks, but... alas, no.
Actually by "vintage" I mean : XXth century eighties... that website has some, but but cameras only.
Thanks again... the hunt goes on...
