EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to the bustling streets of Piccadilly Circus in 1956 with this print from Mary Evans Picture Library. The scene is alive with activity, as double-decker buses weave through traffic and pedestrians hurry along the sidewalks. Towering above it all are the iconic billboards advertising household names like Bovril, Wrigleys, and Craven A cigarettes.
The sheer size of these billboards is staggering, dominating the skyline and capturing the attention of anyone passing by. In an era before digital screens and targeted ads, these larger-than-life advertisements were a powerful way to reach consumers and make a lasting impression.
This snapshot of history offers a glimpse into daily life in 1950s England, where traditional values coexisted with modern advancements. The presence of brands like Bovril and Wrigleys serves as a reminder of simpler times when advertising was more straightforward and less invasive.
As you study this image, take note of every detail – from the vintage cars to the architecture surrounding Piccadilly Circus. Each element tells a story about a bygone era that continues to fascinate us today. Let yourself be transported back in time with this remarkable piece from Mary Evans Prints Online.
