EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the elegant world of Godfrey Phillips, the renowned London-based tobacconist, as depicted in this advertisement illustration from circa 1939. The image, part of the March of the Women Collection from Mary Evans Prints Online, invites us to explore the refined atmosphere of Godfrey Phillips' establishment at the Barbican. A decorative pot, adorned with intricate floral designs, takes center stage, adding a touch of sophistication to the scene. Nestled beside it is a pristine box of matches, their red and white stripes a stark contrast against the earthy tones of the pot. A pipe, complete with a polished finish and a carefully clenched stem, completes the tableau. Godfrey Phillips, a name synonymous with quality and tradition, is showcased in this advertisement as the purveyor of fine tobacco products. The image, reminiscent of the Art Deco style popular during the 1930s, exudes an air of luxury and elegance. This advertisement illustration, a testament to the advertising art of the era, would have graced the pages of annual buyers' guides or trade publications, attracting the attention of potential clients and showcasing the company's commitment to providing exceptional tobacco products. Dawson Thompson, the talented artist behind this illustration, masterfully captures the essence of Godfrey Phillips and the allure of the tobacco experience in this image. A glimpse into the past, this advertisement illustration offers a window into the world of Godfrey Phillips and the refined pleasures of the 1930s tobacco culture.
