This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, showcasing an advertisement for rich wedding cakes. The image is a print of an original artwork by English School, now held in a private collection. The intricately detailed illustration was originally featured in The Graphic on January 5,1895. It serves as a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of advertising during that era. Prominently displayed are the words "Advertisement, Rich Wedding Cakes" drawing attention to this delectable treat that was undoubtedly highly sought after for special occasions such as weddings. The advertisement proudly boasts its association with Great London Biscuit Manufacturers and highlights their expertise in creating these lavish confections. The print also includes references to other elements related to wedding cakes from that time period – Peek's Wedding Cake Handbook and Patent Soldered Tins by Frean. These details provide insight into the tools and resources available at the time for those involved in cake making. As we delve deeper into this historical piece of art, it becomes evident that advertisements have long played a significant role in society. This particular engraving showcases how companies utilized visual imagery and persuasive language to capture consumers' attention even over a century ago. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable piece through Fine Art Finder, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its cultural significance within the realm of advertising history
