"Transporting Refreshment: The Syphon Revolution of the 1920s" Step back in time to the roaring 1920s, where soda water reigned supreme and advertising cards were a window into a world of luxury. Job Wraggs Super Quality Soda Water took center stage with their captivating advert, enticing customers with promises of fizzy delight. But it wasn't just soda water that captured attention during this era. Black & White Scotch Whisky made its mark, tempting connoisseurs with its smooth taste and timeless appeal. Meanwhile, Aristoc silk stockings recognized the importance of beauty even in war-time, urging women to combine duty and elegance. Amidst these glamorous advertisements stood Mr. John Norman, declaring proudly that he didn't have a drink problem. A testament to personal responsibility amidst an era known for indulgence. Beyond the realm of adverts lay remarkable feats of engineering. Dorothea Lange's lens captured the longest siphon in the world as it snaked across Malheur Valley and Dead Ox Flat in Oregon - a symbol of human ingenuity harnessing nature's resources. Yet not all stories were filled with glamour or triumph. The torment of drought plagued provinces far from mighty rivers like Argentina's color litho depicted - reminding us that even amidst progress, challenges persist. In lighter moments, comic postcards brought laughter through relatable scenes - two men enjoying drinks while chatting away or a man short on money at the seaside but still finding joy in simple pleasures. And finally, we find ourselves witnessing a young boy kneeling on the floor sorting glass jars - perhaps preparing for his own syphon adventure or simply captivated by their sparkling allure. From luxurious beverages to grand engineering marvels and everyday moments infused with humor and resilience; "syphon" takes us on a journey through time where refreshment was sought after both physically and emotionally.
