The Animated Sandwich, 1872
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the bustling streets of London in the 19th century. In this intriguing image, we see a bearded man proudly donning a sandwich board as he advertises an upcoming performance by the renowned Swedish soprano, Christine Nilsson, at Drury Lane. The man's attire reflects the fashion of the era with his traditional clothing and hat. His confident stance and engaging expression suggest that he takes his role as an advertiser seriously. The sandwich board itself serves as both a functional tool for spreading information and an artistic canvas showcasing Gustave Doré's exceptional engraving skills. This photograph captures not only a moment in time but also provides insight into social class dynamics during this period. It highlights how individuals from different backgrounds came together through entertainment such as opera performances. Gustave Doré's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this image - from the intricate engravings on the sandwich board to capturing the essence of London's vibrant street life. Through "The Animated Sandwich" we are transported to another era where advertising was done with creativity and flair. This remarkable piece from Doré's book "London: A Pilgrimage" stands as a testament to his talent for capturing historical moments through artistry and storytelling. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage embedded within our cities' streets while celebrating performers like Christine Nilsson who brought joy and entertainment to audiences during their time.
