EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a piece of history from 1902, showcasing an advert for Prof. W.R. Ridley, Sports Outfitter in Bath. The storefront on Manvers Street is prominently displayed, with the advertisement proudly promoting the shop's offerings of sports clothing and gear.
In the bustling Edwardian era, this shop would have been a popular destination for those seeking quality attire for their athletic pursuits. From cricket whites to tennis dresses, Prof. W.R. Ridley catered to a wide range of sporting needs, ensuring that customers were well-equipped and stylish on the field or court.
The design of the advert reflects the aesthetic sensibilities of the time, with ornate typography and decorative flourishes drawing attention to the shop's name and location. The image serves as a window into a bygone era when local businesses thrived through word-of-mouth recommendations and eye-catching signage.
As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are reminded of how commerce has evolved yet remained fundamentally unchanged in its mission to provide goods and services to meet our everyday needs. Prof. W.R. Ridley may be long gone, but his legacy lives on through images like these that capture moments in time when shopping was an experience worth savoring.
