EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Mary Evans Prints Online takes us back to the bustling streets of 1887. Entitled "How we advertise now, " this cartoon in Punch magazine humorously captures the essence of a busy street scene, where bill posters dominate every inch of a towering wall. The year 1887 was an era when advertising took on new dimensions, and this image perfectly encapsulates the frenzy surrounding it. The wall is transformed into a canvas for horror scenes, as bill after bill competes for attention. The vibrant colors and intricate details draw viewers into each poster's macabre narrative. From thrilling theatre productions to spine-chilling horrors, these posters offer a glimpse into the entertainment choices of that time. As we examine this snapshot from history, we are reminded of how advertising has evolved over the years. In an age dominated by digital media and targeted marketing campaigns, it is fascinating to witness how our predecessors relied on physical billboards to capture public interest. This photograph serves as both a testament to human creativity and ingenuity in capturing attention amidst the chaos of city life. It also prompts us to reflect on our own modern-day methods of advertisement and appreciate their roots in historical practices. Through this image, Mary Evans Prints Online invites us to explore not only an intriguing moment frozen in time but also encourages contemplation about how far society has come since those lively streets were adorned with vividly illustrated posters vying for public attention.
