Scope and content
Two adverts promoting The Observer Magazine's travel guide.
The adverts show packages in brown paper with labels bearing the names of popular holiday destinations moving onto an airport luggage carousel. A package wrapped in green paper emerges and is upwrapped to reveal a stack of Observer Magazines. The commentary for the week 1 adverts, and for OBS/9/1/1/44/2c is read by one man, and the commentary for the rest of OBS/9/1/1/44/2 by another.
Commentary begins: "If you need a holiday, but you're tired of the usual packages, try something very very different..."
(Unspoken) tagline: "A different set of values. A different kind of paper."
Creator: The Observer Limited, 1917-1993
