EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Army and Navy Stores Catalogue, dating back to 1939-40. Created by an anonymous English School artist of the 20th century, this lithograph offers a glimpse into the shopping culture of early-mid twentieth-century Britain. The illustration serves as an advertisement for the renowned Army & Navy Stores Ltd, located on Victoria Street in London. This historic catalogue was undoubtedly a valuable resource for customers seeking various goods during that time period. From groceries to candles, every item is meticulously listed with its corresponding price. The significance of this image extends beyond mere retail history; it also provides insight into British society during a critical era. As Europe faced political tensions and Germany loomed on the horizon, this catalogue represents a snapshot of life before World War II engulfed the continent. While not explicitly mentioned in the caption, one cannot ignore Germany's presence within this context. The mention of German products such as Venetian art candles suggests cross-cultural exchange between Great Britain and Germany at that time. Overall, this print captures both historical value and artistic beauty. It transports viewers back to an era when mail-order catalogues were essential resources for consumers while offering glimpses into British-German relations before their tumultuous collision in war.
