EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Advertisement, The New Station Indicator on the Underground Railway" takes us back to the bustling streets of 19th century London. The image showcases a revolutionary advertising concept that adorned the walls of the underground stations during that time. The focal point of this print is undoubtedly the station indicator, an innovative device designed to catch commuters' attention as they hurriedly made their way through the busy tunnels. This ingenious contraption displayed various advertisements for products such as powder, fluid soaps, Bovril (a popular meat extract), Colmans starch, Hovens clip (possibly a clothing accessory), and Jeyes disinfectants. These ads were strategically placed to capture passengers' interest and promote these goods in a unique setting. The intricate details in this engraving transport us into a bygone era when advertising was evolving rapidly alongside technological advancements like underground railways. It offers us a glimpse into how companies sought creative ways to reach potential customers amidst the chaos of city life. As we admire this historical artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of how advertising has always been an integral part of our society's fabric – constantly adapting and finding new avenues to connect with consumers.
