EDITORS COMMENTS
At the Top of the Tree: Celebrating Nearly 1.5 Million Copies Sold - Lloyds News, 1906 This postcard advertisement for Lloyds News, an early Sunday newspaper in the United Kingdom, boasts the impressive sales figure of nearly 1.5 million copies. Launched in 1842, Lloyds Weekly News was a formidable competitor to The Illustrated London News. By the 1890s, the newspaper had become so well-known that music hall singer Marie Lloyd adopted her stage name from it. The image on this postcard depicts a wise old owl, perched at the top of a tree, with a pince-nez-wearing man below, gazing up at the moon while smoking his pipe. The owl, a symbol of wisdom, represents the knowledge and insight that readers could expect to find in the pages of Lloyds News. The man, with his glasses and thoughtful expression, embodies the introspective and informed reader. The tree, adorned with the Lloyds News logo, symbolizes the growth and reach of the newspaper. The perch and branch on which the owl sits serve as a reminder that Lloyds News was a trusted source for news and information, providing a firm foundation for readers to build their understanding of the world around them. This postcard, dating back to circa 1906, offers a glimpse into the rich history of Lloyds News and the role it played in shaping the British and UK newspaper landscape. With its striking design and intriguing imagery, it is a testament to the enduring appeal of the newspaper and the wisdom it offered to its readers.
