EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures an advertisement for Charles Butler's unequalled gingerbread, dating back to 1886. The image showcases the immense popularity of Butler's gingerbread during Christmas fair week, with sales exceeding a staggering five tons. Not only renowned for his gingerbread, Charles Butler also provided around ten tons of his celebrated plum and seed loaf to enhance the festive spirit during Christmas festivities. Charles Butler was a prominent figure in the confectionery industry as both a manufacturer and retail confectioner. His shops were located at 60 Snig Hill and 11,54, and 56 Fargate in Sheffield. This photograph is now preserved at the Sheffield Local Studies Library in their collection titled "Local Pamphlets Vol, 127 No. 5 042 S". The advertisement speaks volumes about the quality and demand for Charles Butler's delectable treats during the holiday season. It serves as a testament to his expertise in creating mouthwatering confections that captured the hearts (and taste buds) of many customers. As we delve into this historical snapshot from Sheffield City Archives, it reminds us of how cherished traditions like enjoying delicious sweets have stood the test of time throughout generations.
