EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of a Watertight Tobacco & Cigarette Box, an essential accessory during the tumultuous years of the First World War. This air-tight and watertight box, proudly presented by the esteemed Silver and Edgington of Eastcheap, London, was a vital companion for soldiers at the Front. The box, designed to keep tobacco and cigarettes dry in the harsh conditions of the battlefield, was a thoughtful and practical gift for those serving in the military. The advertisement, published in the Illustrated London News in 1916, showcases testimonials from two esteemed individuals, J. Shearson Hyland, a mineralogist, and Melton Prior, a renowned journalist from the Illustrated London News. Shearson Hyland, with his expertise in minerals, attests to the box's exceptional ability to keep its contents dry, even in the most challenging environments. Melton Prior, in his capacity as a journalist, vouches for the box's durability and reliability under the rigors of military life. The advertisement, with its evocative imagery and compelling endorsements, transports us back to a time when the simple pleasures of a smoke became a symbol of comfort and connection amidst the chaos of war. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the resilience and resourcefulness of those who lived through the Great War.
