Babies, toddlers, and children in general have been a long time favorite to illustrate in advertising many different products. Perhaps the theory was to appeal to mother's with adorable children in order to sell their products. I know when I see an ad with a cute little baby, rambunctious toddler, or child in it I take notice of what is being sold. Many artists became famous for their depictions of children. I find this vintage ad for Karo Syrup from 1942 just adorable. Don't you just want to squeeze those rosy pink cheeks?
