EDITORS COMMENTS
This advertisement for Huntley & Palmers Biscuits, dated circa 1898, showcases the exotic allure of South Africa through the use of vibrant colors and intricate detail. The lithograph print, produced by W.H. Smith, invites viewers to indulge in the delicious offerings of this esteemed British biscuit manufacturer. At the heart of the advertisement, we find a proud African elephant standing amongst lush vegetation, its majestic silhouette framed by the golden sun setting over the African savannah. The elephant, a symbol of strength and resilience, is a testament to the far-reaching influence of Huntley & Palmers, whose biscuits were enjoyed not only in Britain but also in the farthest corners of the British Empire. The advertisement's border is adorned with an array of exotic fruits, including bananas, pineapples, and oranges, further emphasizing the connection between the biscuit manufacturer and the exotic locales of South Africa. The text at the bottom of the poster reads, "Huntley & Palmers, Biscuits, Reading & London," highlighting the company's proud British heritage and its commitment to providing high-quality biscuits to its customers. This advertisement not only serves as a visual delight but also offers a glimpse into the rich history of Huntley & Palmers and the global reach of British manufacturing during the late 19th century. The combination of exotic imagery and the promise of delicious biscuits makes for a compelling advertisement that continues to captivate viewers even today.
