EDITORS COMMENTS
Amidst the bustling streets of Piccadilly Circus in London's West End, circa 1939, the hand of an unseen figure holds a cigarette aloft, its tip glowing brightly against the inky darkness of the background. The thick plume of smoke curls upwards, a testament to the allure and seduction of this popular vice. This evocative image, reminiscent of the 1930s and the glamour of the era, serves as a subtle yet intriguing promotion for Knighton & Cutts Ltd. Specialists in the fields of process engraving, art, photography, typesetting, electrotyping, and stereotyping, Knighton & Cutts was a leading innovator in the graphic arts industry during this period. Their expertise and dedication to quality were sought after by numerous annual buyers' guides, Ham Yard, and other esteemed publications. Though the photograph itself does not directly mention the company, its presence in their promotional materials would have left an indelible impression on their clients and competitors alike. The combination of the captivating image and the company's impressive list of services would have solidified their reputation as a go-to resource for high-quality graphic arts solutions. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time, to an era of elegance and sophistication, where the simple act of holding a cigarette and inhaling its smoke was a symbol of relaxation and refinement. The smoke may have since been banned from indoor spaces, but the allure of this image remains, a testament to the power of art and the enduring appeal of the past.
