EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this advertisement from the thirties, showcasing a G.P.O telephone featuring an eye-catching hand microphone instrument. The telephone, with its vibrant colors of Chinese red, jade green, and ivory white, was not just a means of communication but a decorative addition to the boudoir and drawing-room. The fine details of the advertisement, such as the chromium-plated dial and the silk-covered grey flex, add to its allure. The telephone's presence in the decorative surroundings of the home was considered indispensable during the 1930s, reflecting the growing importance of communication in everyday life. This advertisement, published in the Illustrated London News in 1934, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of telephones during this era. With its rich colors and intricate design, this advertisement is a testament to the enduring appeal of communication technology and its role in shaping the decor of the thirties.
