    Hi.
    I found this John Holbrook poster? Store display/advertisement at a thrift store last week.

    I did an image search but only found one other - it simply said it was for John Robert Holbrook shoes & they'd had it for awhile.

    is this a store advertisement for Holbrook shoes? (He's only wearing socks!)
    Just a poster for fans?
    Why aren't there more copies - there had to be more than 2 stores featuring his shoes, even if a provocative ad?

    Any thoughts/help would be appreciated!

    Here's the home page of Holbrook's web page. It includes the language below so you likely have one of his posters.

    Wow, I didn't think of his website - I just did a image search! I'm sorry & thanks Debora, I should have thought of it.

    I put john robert holbrook in allposters & nothing - a lot of john f. Kennedy, though.
    If I post it to sell, it is for a fragrance not shoes, right?
    Thank you again!

    Given the model isn't wearing shoes, I think we're safe in making that assumption.
