EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures an advertisement for Bryant & May's Patent Safety Matches from 1868. The image showcases a beautifully designed box of matches, featuring the iconic lion and unicorn crest that symbolizes royal approval. During the Victorian era, safety matches were a revolutionary invention that provided protection against accidental fires compared to traditional methods of lighting.
The advert highlights the product's unique selling points, emphasizing its patented safety features and superior quality. In a time when fire was a constant threat in households and workplaces, these matches offered peace of mind to consumers.
However, behind the glamorous facade lies a darker truth - as revealed by an extract from The Times newspaper at the bottom of the advertisement. It exposes allegations of fraud and trade mark infringement within the match industry, hinting at potential controversies surrounding Bryant & May's products.
Despite this shadowy undertone, Terry Parker's photograph beautifully captures the essence of Victorian advertising with its intricate details and ornate design elements. This piece serves as a fascinating glimpse into the history of match manufacturing during this period.
Overall, this print is not just a visual representation of an old advertisement but also a historical artifact that sheds light on both innovation and deception in 19th-century commerce.
