EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and nostalgic Christmas advertisement for Brylcreem hair dressing takes us back to the 1930s in Great Britain. The colour litho print showcases the iconic British brand's grooming product, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The illustration, created by an anonymous English School artist, was featured in Holly Leaves, the Christmas Number of the Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News in 1938. It beautifully depicts a well-groomed man with slicked-back hair using Brylcreem to achieve his dapper look. With its bold colours and graphic design, this ad exemplifies the advertising style of the early twentieth century. The image not only promotes Brylcreem as a trusted hairdressing brand but also captures the spirit of Christmas festivities during that time. As we admire this piece from a private collection, it reminds us of how advertisements have evolved over time while still maintaining their power to transport us to different eras. This particular print serves as a testament to British culture and European history, showcasing both branding techniques and societal norms prevalent during that period. Whether you're interested in historical adverts or simply appreciate fine art from the twentieth century, this image offers a glimpse into an earlier time when men took pride in their grooming rituals with products like Brylcreem.
