EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous poster from the early 20th century captures the essence of a bygone era. Created by John Hassall, it advertises whiskey manufactured by the Charles Hawtrey company around 1900. The colorful lithograph showcases a scene that is both playful and intriguing. In the foreground, we see an Egyptian mummy holding a glass of whiskey, seemingly quenching its eternal thirst. With a mischievous smile on its face, this ancient figure adds a touch of whimsy to the advertisement. Behind it stands an open suitcase resembling a sarcophagus, filled with bottles of Charles Hawtrey's finest spirits. The artist skillfully combines elements of history and humor in this image. The inclusion of an Egyptian motif adds an exotic flair to the promotion while also hinting at the enduring quality and age-old tradition behind this particular brand of whiskey. The bold colors used in this lithograph draw attention to every detail, making it impossible for viewers to ignore. It exudes charm and wit, inviting potential customers to indulge their hankering for fine spirits. Overall, this vintage poster not only serves as an effective advertisement but also provides us with a glimpse into advertising techniques employed during the late 19th century. Its timeless appeal continues to captivate audiences even today.
