EDITORS COMMENTS
This elegant and intricately designed print advertisement showcases the exquisite wedding cakes crafted by Advert, Bolland & Sons of Chester, England. Established in the late Victorian era, the renowned bakery gained significant acclaim for their exceptional creations, as evidenced by their esteemed appointment to supply cakes for the wedding of Her Majesty Queen Victoria's daughter, Princess Victoria Mary of Teck, and His Royal Highness Prince Albert Edward, who would later become King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra, respectively. The advertisement, dating back to 1897, features an image of a grand, multi-tiered wedding cake adorned with intricate sugar flowers, delicate lacework, and meticulously crafted figurines. The cake's tiers are supported by ornate columns, adding to its regal and opulent appearance. The text at the bottom of the print proudly announces the royal appointment, further emphasizing the prestige and quality associated with Advert, Bolland & Sons' wedding cakes. The 1890s were a time of grandeur and extravagance, and this advertisement encapsulates the essence of the era. The intricate details, the use of rich colors, and the regal imagery all contribute to a sense of luxury and sophistication. This print serves as a testament to the skill and artistry of Advert, Bolland & Sons, who managed to create cakes that were not only delicious but also works of art fit for a royal wedding.
