EDITORS COMMENTS
In the charming image from the 1920s, a whimsical advertisement for Skipper's Sailor Savouries sandwich filling captivates the viewer with its poetic illustration by the renowned artist Gladys Peto. The scene unfolds as a serene seascape, with a sailor, hat in hand, gazing longingly at a jar of Skipper's Sailor Savouries nestled on a quaint kitchen counter. The poem inscribed below the image reads: "Sailor, come ashore, your toil is o'er, Your hunger craves a hearty meal, With Skipper's Sailor Savouries, more, Your sandwich's joy, your picnic's seal. In every jar, a savory store, A treasure trove of flavor's wealth, To fill your sandwiches, or more, A feast for you, a feast for health. So cast aside your mariner's lore, And let this savory spread be, Your trusted companion evermore, Your faithful friend at mealtime, gladly." The poetic verses evoke a sense of nostalgia and longing for the simple pleasures of a hearty meal, while the illustration of the sailor and the seascape transport us to a bygone era. Gladys Peto's intricate brushstrokes and attention to detail bring the scene to life, making this advertisement not only an effective promotion for Skipper's Sailor Savouries but also a beautiful work of art. This evocative image offers a glimpse into the past, reminding us of the enduring appeal of a well-crafted sandwich and the joy it can bring to our daily lives.
