EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print titled "Window dressing - a prize window" takes us back to the early 20th century, offering a glimpse into the world of retailing and trade in Britain. The image showcases a meticulously designed shop window that exudes charm and sophistication. The display is dedicated to provisions, with an emphasis on mouthwatering cheeses. Rows upon rows of delectable cheese wheels are artfully arranged, creating an enticing visual feast for passersby. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this window dressing – from the carefully selected cheeses to the elegant signage that proudly announces the establishment as a grocer. The photograph was originally created as an illustration for "The Practical Grocer" a book by W H Simmonds published in 1906. It captures not only the essence of British culture but also highlights the importance of food supply during that era. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we can almost imagine ourselves strolling along bustling streets, drawn towards this enchanting cheese shop by its irresistible allure. This image serves as a reminder of how aesthetics played a crucial role even then when it came to attracting customers and showcasing quality products.
