EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Page of Advertisements" takes us back to the 19th century when print media was at its peak. The image showcases a collection of advertisements that adorned the pages of The Graphic newspaper on January 9,1886. As we delve into this snapshot from history, we are transported to a world where gentlemen's tailors vied for attention alongside cod liver oil manufacturers and makers of royal embrocation. Each advertisement competes for space with vibrant illustrations depicting well-dressed ladies and dapper boys. The variety of products showcased in this page is astounding. From Samuel Brothers' tailored suits to William H Honey's oil heating stoves, there seems to be something for everyone. Pears Soap also makes an appearance, promising women a touch of femininity and elegance. While these advertisements may have served as commercial tools at the time, it is fascinating to view them now purely as pieces of art. They offer us a glimpse into the tastes and desires of society during that era - what they valued, what they aspired towards. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this particular print has been saved from obscurity and can now be appreciated by art enthusiasts worldwide. It serves as a reminder that even everyday objects such as advertisements can hold historical significance and artistic beauty beyond their intended purpose.
