EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, taken in December 1908, showcases a captivating advertisement for Frys Cocoa Powder and Milk Chocolate by renowned British graphic artist, John Hassall. The advertisement features two burglars, their faces concealed by masks, who have just discovered a hidden stash of Frys jars in a safe. Their expressions are far from the usual signs of criminal intent; instead, they are filled with delight and surprise. The burglars' discovery of Frys Cocoa and Milk Chocolate in the safe suggests that these treats were considered valuable and desirable items during that era. John Hassall, a prominent figure in the advertising world, skillfully used this unconventional approach to grab the attention of the public.

The warm, inviting colors of the cocoa and milk chocolate jars further emphasize the appeal and allure of these products. This advertisement not only showcases the high-quality and desirability of Frys Cocoa Powder and Milk Chocolate but also demonstrates Hassall's innovative and creative approach to advertising.
