EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an advertisement from 1765, featuring Thomas Hewes, a renowned upholsterer in Philadelphia. The image is taken from the Pennsylvania Gazette, a prominent newspaper during that time. The ad itself was published on December 12th of that year and provides valuable insights into the advertising practices prevalent in colonial America. The photograph captures the essence of this historical artifact with its aged texture and faded text, transporting us back to a bygone era. It serves as a window into the past, offering glimpses of life in North America before it became an independent nation. Intriguingly, this advertisement focuses on upholstery services offered by Thomas Hewes. Upholstery played a vital role in colonial society as it provided comfort and elegance to furniture pieces such as chairs. Through his skilled craftsmanship, Hewes catered to the needs of Philadelphians who sought refined aesthetics for their homes. The significance of this print lies not only in its visual appeal but also in its ability to evoke curiosity about our shared history. It reminds us that even mundane aspects like advertisements can shed light on societal norms and economic activities during different periods. Granger Art on Demand has expertly preserved this piece from their collection, allowing us to appreciate and reflect upon the rich tapestry of American life centuries ago.
