Standing proudly outside Mitchell Motors Company on Wardour Street, a line of men dons sandwich boards adorned with advertisements for United International Motors Ltd. These "sandwich board men" were an ingenious marketing strategy employed by businesses during this era, using human billboards to catch the attention of passersby. The photograph reveals not only the innovative advertising techniques of the time but also provides a glimpse into the evolving world of transportation and work. The temporary motor showroom housed within Mitchell Motors Company showcases early automobiles that were revolutionizing personal mobility at that time. These cars represented progress and modernity, symbolizing a shift towards a more interconnected society. Photographed by Bedford Lemere & Co. , renowned for their ability to capture architectural and commercial scenes with precision and artistry, this image is both historically significant and visually striking. The composition emphasizes the symmetry created by these uniformed men standing shoulder-to-shoulder along Wardour Street.
