Apple II, III, Wozniak, Newton, Next, MacCharlie?, etc... It's all there.

Or maybe you could go to the original site where 'NeatDesigns' pulled
the majority of those scans from:

http://www.macmothership.com

So what about the minority?

I say majority simply because I didn't check if ALL of them came from macmothership. If anyone checks out the macmothership, you'll find many more scans of Apple advertising...and probably all of them from this neatdesigns' article.

The real issue here is the total lack of crediting for what someone else has done. The macmothership has had those apple advertising scans for years. In turn I submitted the 'Can the Apple IIGS really do more than any other personal computer?' multi-page advert to macmothership, which they credited me for quite a few years ago. It comes from my very first blog on 'What is the Apple IIGS?':

http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/the-apple-iigs-or-it-s-the-cute-little-flaws-that-keep-a-guy-interested/

It gets my goat, because everything everyone has ever submitted to What is the Apple IIGS? is always fully credited, as I'm incredibly grateful for all contributions. Examples:

http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/news/2012
http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/news/2011
http://www.whatisthe2gs.apple2.org.za/news/2010
etc.

Rant over.
