EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vintage advertisement from 1919, featuring Tapestry Covers by G. F. Smith (London) Limited. The image is sourced from The British Printer Vol. XXXII and was published by Raithby, Lawrence & Co. Ltd in London and Leicester during the early 20th century. The photograph captures the essence of English nature with its vibrant floral display. A variety of colorful flowers, including purple thistles, are beautifully arranged to create an enchanting tapestry cover design. The cream-colored background adds a touch of elegance to this exquisite piece. The text on the advert is meticulously crafted in Western script calligraphy, showcasing the artistry involved in printing during that era. Lower case lettering complements the overall aesthetic appeal while providing ample copyspace for additional information. This remarkable lithograph not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into advertising practices prevalent in England at that time. It symbolizes an era when tapestries were highly sought after and cherished as decorative objects for homes across the country. Preserved through time, this print allows us to appreciate both the craftsmanship behind G. F Smith's tapestry covers and the rich history associated with British printing techniques from over a century ago.
