EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph from the 19th century showcases an advertisement that takes us back in time to a bustling era of travel and exploration. The image, titled "Advertisement (litho)" captures the essence of excitement and adventure associated with globe-trotting. The scene depicts a vibrant cityscape, possibly South Brisbane, teeming with tourists and commercial travelers. Prominent landmarks such as the George Hotel and Palace Family Hotel stand proudly amidst a sea of billboards promoting various accommodations and routes for eager explorers. Private suites, stabling facilities, shower baths, and even world-class billiards are advertised to entice potential boarders. The Orient Line Guide edited by W. J Loftie serves as the inspiration behind this illustration - a comprehensive resource for those seeking information on international travel during that period. It aimed to promote not only luxurious journeys but also catered specifically to families, squatters, and adventurers alike. Through intricate engraving techniques employed by F. Wimpole, every minute detail is brought to life in this print. From the grand architecture to the lively atmosphere surrounding it all; this artwork encapsulates both elegance and wanderlust. As we gaze upon this historical masterpiece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens today, let it transport us back in time when advertising played an essential role in shaping our perception of distant lands waiting to be explored.
