EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1887 print showcases an advertisement for Berrys boot polish, featuring the iconic Queen Victoria herself. The vibrant color print captures the essence of celebration and patriotism that was prevalent in Britain during this era. In the image, we see a caricature of Queen Victoria, dressed in her regal attire, enthusiastically polishing a pair of boots with Berrys boot polish. Her dedication to maintaining her country's footwear is evident as she stands on a ladder, reaching for perfection. Surrounding her are men from various walks of life, all admiringly observing their monarch's commitment to cleanliness and style. The attention to detail in this print is remarkable; every element exudes British pride and admiration for both the monarchy and quality products like Berrys boot polish. From the carefully polished boots to the colorful clothing worn by those present, it is clear that this advertisement aimed to celebrate not only the product but also Britain's rich heritage. As we gaze upon this historical artifact today, we are reminded of an era when shoe care was elevated into an art form and even royalty took part in its practice. This print serves as a testament to Queen Victoria's influence over fashion trends and highlights how even mundane tasks could become moments worth celebrating under her reign.
