EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster, titled "Veritas Mantles and Burners - British Made - Gosh! them Veritas beat all," transports us back to the early 1910s. The image showcases a comically exaggerated scene of a man in a top hat and monocle, who has tumbled off a ladder while attempting to install a street lamp. His loyal dog looks on with a concerned expression, while the broken lamp post and shattered mantle and burner lie in pieces at their feet. Despite the fallen man and the chaos that ensues, the poster's tone remains lighthearted and humorous. The tagline "British Made" and the prominent display of the Veritas logo suggest that this advertisement was promoting the superior quality and reliability of Veritas mantles and burners. The poster's design is reminiscent of the comic advertising style popular during the early 1900s. The use of bold colors, exaggerated features, and a clear message make this poster an effective and memorable advertisement from the past. The poster's age and rarity make it a valuable addition to any collection of vintage advertising or ephemera.
