EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Advertising Archives takes us back to the sun-soaked era of 1950s UK. The image showcases an array of vibrant and nostalgic sun creams, lotions, and tanning products that were popular during this time. As we gaze upon this snapshot, we are transported to a bygone era where sunburn was just as much a part of summer as suntans and sunbathing. The assortment of products on display reflects the growing awareness around protecting one's skin from harmful UV rays. Astral, a well-known brand at the time, is prominently featured among other familiar names in British advertising history. These advertisements not only promoted their effectiveness but also embodied the spirit of carefree summers spent lounging under the warm British sunshine. Intriguingly preserved by The Advertising Archives, this photograph offers us a glimpse into how beauty standards and marketing strategies have evolved over time. It serves as a reminder that even in an age before social media influencers or digital campaigns, advertisers found creative ways to capture consumers' attention. As we admire this piece of history captured through lens and ink, let it transport us back to an era when these adverts adorned shop windows across Britain - enticing passersby with promises of golden tans while shielding them from painful sunburns.
