EDITORS COMMENTS
A captivating silhouette of a young girl feeding geese, an enchanting scene from the collection of nursery figures by renowned English artist Harry Lawrence Oakley. This exquisite silhouette is an illustration from an advertisement for Cremona Dairy Cream Toffee, a beloved sweet treat from the past. Oakley, a master of the art of silhouette cutting, created 38 groups of these intricately detailed figures, each printed in vibrant colors on the toffee tins. For older children, an alternative design featuring a mischievous crocodile was also available. The Cremona Dairy Cream Toffee advertisement, with its charming illustrations, would have graced the pages of trade publications and catalogs during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The image of the girl and geese, with its idyllic and nostalgic appeal, would have been a popular choice for holiday presents and stocking stuffers during the Christmas season. This silhouette is a testament to the rich history of advertising and the role that art played in promoting consumer products during this era. The intricate details and vivid colors of Oakley's figures continue to capture the imagination and delight viewers, making them a cherished piece of both advertising and artistic history.
