EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Nancy Sandys Walker Collection captures a moment in time from a shoot to promote the selling of advertising space for Ideal Home magazine in the late 1960s. The Advertisement Manager, Roden Norman, is pictured here embodying a fierce and commanding presence in his soldier attire. Dressed in chainmail, helmet, and wielding a hawk and spear, Norman exudes strength and power as he poses for the camera. His costume evokes images of medieval warriors ready for battle, adding an element of drama to the promotional shoot. The attention to detail in Norman's outfit is remarkable - from the cowl draped over his shoulder to the intricate mail shirt he wears underneath. Every piece contributes to creating an authentic re-enactment of historical military attire. As we gaze upon this striking image, we are transported back to a time when advertising was not just about selling products but also about storytelling and capturing people's imagination. Roden Norman's portrayal as a warrior serves as a reminder that effective advertising requires creativity, boldness, and a touch of theatricality. This print is not just a snapshot from the past; it is a testament to the artistry and vision behind promoting brands and products through visual storytelling.
