EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of advertising in Victorian England. The engraving depicts an advertisement for Waugh and Son, a renowned company specializing in luxurious carpets, silks, damasks, brocatelles, reps, and chintzes. The scene showcases their impressive range of products with intricate details that are sure to catch any viewer's eye. From the bustling streets of Tottenham Court Road to the grandeur of Crystal Palace in Sydenham, this artwork transports us to a time when craftsmanship and elegance were highly valued. Waugh and Son's reputation as purveyors of fine textiles is evident through their inclusion in Peter Parleys Annual for 1864 - a prestigious publication at the time. Their showroom on Goodge Street must have been filled with opulent fabrics that would have delighted even the most discerning customers. As we admire this historical piece from our private collection, it serves as a reminder of how advertisements have evolved over time. In an era where commercialism dominates every aspect of our lives today, it is refreshing to see such artistry employed in promoting goods without explicitly mentioning commercial use. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable snapshot from history so that we may appreciate both its artistic value and its historical significance.
