1917 Advertising Coat Handgun November Officer Proof Trench Vintage Weather World War I Burberry
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage advertisement from November 1917 showcases a trench coat by Burberrys, designed specifically for the harsh weather conditions faced by soldiers during World War I. The drawing depicts an English officer wearing the iconic trench coat, highlighting its functionality and style. The advertisement emphasizes the coat's durability and protection against the elements with text that reads "TRENCH COAT, 1917" and "proof against wind and rain". This early example of advertising demonstrates how fashion adapted to meet the needs of those serving in war. The image captures a sense of sophistication as well, with the officer holding a handgun while confidently donning his Burberrys trench-warm coat. It reflects both practicality and elegance in wartime attire. Printed in an English newspaper at that time, this ad offers us a glimpse into historical fashion trends during World War I. The Granger Collection has preserved this piece of history through their print collection, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its significance within military fashion. As we admire this illustration by Granger Art on Demand, we are reminded of how clothing can serve as more than just a means to keep warm; it can be an expression of identity and resilience even amidst challenging circumstances.
