EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Army and Navy Stores Catalogue, dating back to 1939-40. The lithograph, created by an anonymous English School artist of the 20th century, offers a fascinating glimpse into the shopping culture of that era. The illustration depicts a wide range of goods available for sale at the renowned Army & Navy Stores Ltd in London's Victoria Street. From Denny Irish Bacon to Harris Bacon with Wiltshire Cure, this catalogue was undoubtedly a treasure trove for shoppers seeking high-quality products. As we delve into history through this image, it is impossible not to acknowledge the turbulent times surrounding its creation. With Europe on the brink of war in 1939 and 1940, this catalogue represents both normalcy and escapism amidst uncertainty. The mention of Germany adds another layer of intrigue to this piece. While it is unclear why German references are included in an English catalogue during such politically charged times, it highlights the interconnectedness between nations even during periods of tension. Overall, this photograph serves as more than just a visual representation; it encapsulates an entire era's shopping experience while also offering glimpses into historical events unfolding simultaneously across Europe. It reminds us how art can provide valuable insights into our past and encourages us to explore further connections within our shared human history.
