EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century takes us back in time to witness a significant event - the recent robbery at Erewhon Lodge and the subsequent discovery of a portion of the stolen goods. The scene is brought to life through intricate details, showcasing an advertisement that appeared in The Illustrated London News on July 25,1896. The image captures the aftermath of this audacious crime, with various items scattered across a room. Clocks, bottles of Bovril and Colmans starch are among some of the stolen goods that have been recovered. The engraving also features prominent brands such as Hindes Pyr Point Hair Pins and Sir John Bennett. As we delve into this historical moment, it becomes apparent that advertising played a crucial role even then. This illustration serves as evidence of how companies utilized newspapers to promote their products while simultaneously providing valuable information about ongoing events like robberies. Through this print, we gain insight into not only the fascinating world of advertising but also into society's fascination with crime stories during that era. It reminds us how art can capture moments in history and transport us back in time. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, we can still appreciate this remarkable piece today and reflect on its significance within both artistic and historical contexts.
