EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph taken in the late 1940s, the quaint seaside town of Walton-on-the-Naze in Essex, England, is seen bustling with activity along its bustling high street. The image captures the spirit of the post-war era, as two billboard advertisements dominate the scene. On the left, an advertisement for Whiteways Devonshire Cyder beckons passersby with its enticing promise of "Delicious Devonshire Cyder." The shabby, worn appearance of the poster adds to its charm, while the image of a bicycle suggests the simple pleasures of a pre-motorized age. On the right, a bold advertisement for The Royal Navy calls out to those seeking adventure and a meaningful career. The image of a sailor in uniform, standing proudly at attention, conveys a sense of duty, honor, and opportunity. The text encourages potential recruits to "Join the Royal Navy and see the world." The juxtaposition of these two advertisements in this photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, revealing the diverse range of interests and aspirations of the people of Walton-on-the-Naze during the 1940s. The image also serves as a reminder of the power of advertising to shape our desires and influence our choices, even in the most unexpected of places. This photograph, from the Pete Frost Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a rare and valuable document of a bygone era, offering a glimpse into the past through the lens of advertising history.
