When I'm looking for inspiration, I like to browse through the LOC's digital print collection. Truly gifted artists created beautiful, elaborate artwork for products like Smith Brother's Pure Borax. I believe I also saw an ad for Bone Linament. I don't think I want to know what that was intended for.
Try searching with keywords "advertisement", and my new favorite, "circus".
