EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the past with this illustration from the Dunlop Rubber Co. Ltd's advertisement archive, circa 1939. The foreground scene transports us back in time as a dapper gentleman in tweed engages in conversation with two figures. He holds the handlebars of his bicycle, his focus divided between the discussion and the road ahead. Intriguingly, a man rides a penny farthing bicycle behind him, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the scene. This illustration, from the March of the Women Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, showcases the artistry and attention to detail that was common in advertising during the 1930s. The use of bold colors, dynamic composition, and the gentlemen's elegant attire all contribute to the allure of this bygone era. The annual buyers' guide, illustrated by renowned artist Kenneth John Petts, highlights the importance of Dunlop rubber in the everyday life of the period. The company's commitment to producing high-quality rubber products is evident in the depiction of the gentleman's bicycle tires, which are prominently displayed in the illustration. As we delve deeper into the history of this advertisement, we can appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into creating such a visually striking image. The 1930s, often referred to as the Thirties, were a time of innovation and progress, and this illustration is a testament to the creativity and vision of the advertising industry during that era.
