EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph taken in April 1907, we are transported back in time to the bustling streets of Holborn, London. A group of sandwichmen, dressed impeccably as swells, stride confidently down the city's thoroughfare. Their purpose? To advertise Army Graphic, a publication that surely captivated the attention of passersby. The image captures a moment frozen in history; it is an exquisite example of early advertising techniques and urban culture at the turn of the century. The men stand tall and proud, their crisp suits contrasting against the backdrop of a busy street. As they walk together in unison, their presence commands attention from all who witness this unique spectacle. Holborn comes alive through this photograph - its cobbled streets lined with storefronts and posters vying for public interest. The sandwichmen become part of this vibrant tapestry; they embody both style and substance as they promote Army Graphic with every step they take. This archival print transports us to an era where advertising was artistry itself - when creativity met commerce on the streets of London. It serves as a reminder that even amidst our modern world saturated with advertisements, there was once a time when such promotions were carried out by individuals walking proudly through cityscapes like living billboards. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Topical Press Agency over a century ago, we can't help but marvel at how far we've come while appreciating the beauty found within these historical moments preserved forever on film
