Images that reflect the pleasures of socializing with friends at home, at a back-yard bar-b-q, or while enjoying other leisure pursuits. Among the illustrators featured here, Haddon Sundblom and Douglass Crockwell used such convivial scenarios in their work for various advertising campaigns. I have tried to credit the image source where possible.
Time is always well spent with friends.
