EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this page from The Illustrated London News, dated 11th April 1896. This vintage print showcases three intriguing advertisements that offer a glimpse into the consumer culture of the late Victorian era. The first advertisement, proudly displayed at the top, is for Liptons Teas, boasting the finest Ceylon tea. With the tagline "The World's Favorite Tea," Liptons Teas had already established a strong presence in the market, capitalizing on the growing popularity of tea-drinking in Britain. The elegant illustration of a tea set and steaming teapot evoke the refined taste and sophistication of the Victorian tea ceremony. Beneath the Liptons Teas advertisement lies an advertisement for Beethams Glycerine and Cucumber Preparation. Beethams, a well-known name in the food industry, promoted their product as a "delightful and refreshing" addition to meals. The advertisement features an image of a beautifully presented salad, with the cucumber preparation taking center stage. The use of glycerine was a common practice during this time to help preserve the freshness and crispness of the cucumber. The third advertisement, located at the bottom of the page, is for Mappin & Webb's Fitted Suit Cases. Mappin & Webb, a renowned British silversmith and jewelry manufacturer, expanded their offerings to include high-quality suitcases. The advertisement showcases three different sizes of suitcases, each with an intricate design and a promise of durability. The Victorian traveler was assured that their belongings would be well protected during their journeys with Mappin & Webb's fitted suit cases. This page from The Illustrated London News offers a fascinating look into the advertisements of the late 1890s, providing a glimpse into the consumer culture and trends of the Victorian era.
