Step Back in Time: John Pound & Co. Travel Trunks Advertisement, 1912 This advertisement for John Pound & Co. travel trunks transports us back to the early 1900s, a time when luxury travel was an exciting and glamorous experience. The finely crafted leather trunks and kit bags displayed in this advertisement are a testament to the quality and durability that John Pound & Co. was renowned for. John Pound, the founder of the company, became Lord Mayor of London in 1904, but with his new responsibilities, he handed over the reins to his two sons, John Lulham and Percy Albert. The business continued to thrive under their leadership, producing some of the finest solid leather trunks and kit bags using hides of the highest quality. The advertisement boasts, "Price List No. 10," indicating that this was not the first time these trunks had been offered for sale. The prices listed suggest that these trunks were a significant investment for the well-heeled traveler, with a small trunk priced at 12 guineas and a large trunk costing 25 guineas. The ox-hide leather used in the production of these trunks was a popular choice for travelers due to its strength and durability.

This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the elegance and sophistication of travel during the 1910s.
