EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a piece of history from 1890, showcasing an advertisement for Hovells Christmas Crackers and their fancy confectionery on the side of a horse bus. The intricate design of the advert is a testament to the attention to detail and creativity that went into marketing during this time period.
The juxtaposition of the festive Christmas theme with the everyday mode of transport adds an element of whimsy to the scene. It's as if passengers riding on this bus were treated to a visual feast even before indulging in Hovells' delectable treats.
The image offers a glimpse into a bygone era when horse-drawn buses were a common sight on city streets, providing essential transportation for residents. The fact that such advertisements adorned these vehicles speaks to the power of branding and promotion even in simpler times.
As we admire this historical snapshot, we are reminded of how far advertising has come since then, yet there is still something charming about seeing such classic ads in unexpected places. This print serves as both a memento of days gone by and a reminder that creativity knows no bounds when it comes to capturing consumer attention.
