Apple (AAPL) has gone on quite a ride since being founded in the mid-1970s.

The site recently assembled a collection of 75 print advertisements created by Apple and its partner agencies between 1975 and 2002.

A few old ads follow below, and the full collection can be viewed on Retronaut’s website.
