EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Illustrative of shopping by phone" captures a moment in history when technology began to revolutionize the retail industry. Taken by an English photographer in the 20th century, this image is now part of a private collection. The photograph showcases a scene that perfectly encapsulates the early 1910s era. A woman can be seen holding a telephone receiver to her ear while surrounded by various textiles and clothing items. This illustration was originally featured in "The Practical Retail Draper" written by Fred W Burgess and published around 1912. Intriguingly, this snapshot provides us with a glimpse into how shopping habits were evolving during that time period. The convenience of being able to shop via phone was slowly becoming apparent, as depicted through this timeless image. With its historical significance, this print offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on the advancements made within the retail industry over the past century. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come technologically while also highlighting our innate desire for convenience when it comes to shopping. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate both its artistic value and its ability to transport us back in time - reminding us of our shared human experiences across different eras.
