EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1909 showcases an intriguing advert for Blackwell & Co, a renowned printing company of its time. The creator of this advertisement remains unknown, adding an air of mystery to the piece. Featured in "The British Printer Vol. XXII", published by Raithby, Lawrence & Co. Ltd in London and Leicester, this ad captures the essence of early 20th-century advertising. In this vibrant image, we see a majestic eagle perched atop a mountain peak at nightfall. Bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, the bird's wings are spread wide as if ready to take flight into the vastness of space. Its bright orange feathers stand out against the dark backdrop, symbolizing power and vitality. The inclusion of astronomical elements adds depth to this composition: a nod to both science and nature. The lunar presence hints at our fascination with celestial bodies within our solar system while also emphasizing Blackwell & Co's commitment to innovation. With ink-stained talons gripping onto the rocky surface, this portrait represents strength and precision – qualities that align perfectly with Blackwell & Co's reputation as a leading printing company in Britain during that era. Although originally intended for commercial use within "The British Printer" journal, today it serves as a mesmerizing glimpse into advertising history and artistic expression from over a century ago.
