EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Advertisement, Brookes Soap" takes us back to the 19th century when advertising was an art form in itself. The print showcases a beautifully illustrated advertisement for Brookes Soap, which was featured in The Graphic on April 5th, 1890. The image transports us to a bustling street corner in London's York Road near Kings Cross. In the foreground stands a mischievous monkey holding a bar of Brookes Soap with its cheeky grin suggesting that this soap is truly exceptional. Surrounding the primate are various characters from everyday life - men and women going about their business while being captivated by this unique advertisement. The attention to detail in this engraving is remarkable; every line and stroke brings life to the scene. It captures not only the essence of Victorian-era London but also highlights the power of effective advertising even during those times. Brookes Soap undoubtedly had an impact on consumers as it managed to stand out amidst other advertisements of that era. This artwork serves as a reminder that advertising has always played a significant role in society, enticing people with its creativity and persuasive messages. As we gaze upon this historical print, we can't help but appreciate how far advertising has come since then while acknowledging its enduring influence throughout history.
