EDITORS COMMENTS
This intriguing photograph, titled "Urinal Advert 1889" by Milton Syers Peckham, captures a unique moment in the history of advertising and sanitation. Dating back to the late 1880s, this image offers a glimpse into the Victorian era's innovative approach to public health and hygiene. The photograph features an advertisement displayed on the wall of a urinal, located in what appears to be a public toilet or WC (water closet). The ad, which is prominently displayed above the urinals, promotes a product or service, although its exact nature remains a mystery. The text is difficult to decipher due to its age and the quality of the image, adding to the intrigue. The urinals themselves are a fascinating sight. Each one is equipped with a flushing mechanism, which was a relatively new innovation at the time. The cisterns, which are located at the top of the urinals, are connected to a water supply system, allowing users to flush the urinals after use. This was a significant improvement over the traditional slop jars and chamber pots, which were commonly used in public toilets before the widespread adoption of flushing toilets. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the design and architecture of public toilets during the Victorian era. The space is dimly lit, with small windows allowing in natural light. The walls are tiled, and the floor is covered in a patterned design. The overall atmosphere is clean and orderly, reflecting the growing concern for public health and hygiene during this period. In summary, this photograph of an 1889 urinal advertisement by Milton Syers Peckham offers a fascinating glimpse into the history of advertising, sanitation, and public health during the Victorian era. The image captures the innovative use of technology to improve hygiene in public spaces and the growing concern for cleanliness and order in urban areas.
