Xmas Cheer - Borlans Provision Store, 1909 - A Glimpse into the Festive Past
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from 1909 takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Britain during the Christmas season. The image showcases Borlans Provision Store, a beloved establishment that offered an array of goods and provisions for the holiday festivities. In this snapshot, we see a single individual proudly carrying a platter adorned with a succulent hog roast, symbolizing abundance and indulgence. Dressed in traditional clothing and wearing an apron, they embody the spirit of Christmas cheer as they make their way through the crowded street. The scene is beautifully enhanced by vibrant colors; from the bright orange garland draped over their arm to the lush green holly leaves adorning their hat. These natural elements add a touch of nature's beauty to this festive display. The carefully crafted lettering on display highlights not only Borlans' offerings but also captures the essence of British printing craftsmanship during that era. This advertisement serves as both an artistic expression and a testament to early 20th-century advertising techniques. As we gaze upon this historical photograph, we are reminded of how traditions have evolved over time while still embracing core values such as family gatherings and sharing delicious meals together. It is truly fascinating to witness how our ancestors celebrated Christmas with pride and joy at establishments like Borlans Provision Store over a century ago.
