EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the late 19th century, specifically to the year 1890. It showcases an American magazine advertisement for Dixons American Graphite pencils, a brand that was highly regarded during that era. The ad is beautifully engraved, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship of the time. The focal point of this vintage advertisement is undoubtedly the pencil itself. With its sleek design and elegant shape, it exudes sophistication and quality. The text accompanying the image highlights its key features - "Dixons American Graphite pencils" - emphasizing their superior graphite composition. What makes this print even more intriguing is how it provides a glimpse into advertising practices from over a century ago. In an age where technology had not yet taken over our lives, companies relied on printed media like magazines to promote their products. This particular ad stands as a testament to the artistry involved in creating such promotional materials. As we admire this historical artifact, we are transported back to America's past when handwritten letters were cherished and fine writing instruments were essential tools for communication and creativity alike. This print serves as a reminder of how far we have come technologically while also evoking nostalgia for simpler times when penmanship held great importance. With its timeless appeal and rich historical significance, this PENCIL AD from 1890 offers us both aesthetic pleasure and insight into America's advertising landscape at the turn of the century.
