# Life Magazine Calendar Advertisement (1915) This page is primarily an **advertisement for Life magazine's 1915 calendars**, not political satire. It showcases four calendar designs available for purchase: 1. "Sketches from Life" Calendar 2. The Gibson Calendar (featuring Charles Dana Gibson's famous illustrations) 3. Life's Calendar 4. Life's National Calendar The ad emphasizes these as ideal Christmas gifts, priced at $1.25 each, delivered in decorative boxes with silk cords. The text stresses urgency ("Time Is Fleeting"), noting calendars "sell rapidly" and suggesting customers order immediately. The accompanying illustrations are decorative rather than satirical—they show the aesthetic appeal of each calendar design, featuring Gibson's characteristic artistic style popular during this era. This is essentially a holiday shopping promotion.
