EDITORS COMMENTS

In the image, a businessman is seen inspecting a line of men whom he has just employed for this unique job. The original caption for this piece was "Recruiting the Sandwich Men: Accepted", highlighting the acceptance and importance of these workers in society at that time.
Sandwich men were individuals hired to walk around with advertising boards strapped to their bodies, promoting various businesses or events. This form of advertising was quite common in late 19th century London and served as an effective way to reach a large audience on busy streets.
The engraving provides us with a glimpse into the past, showcasing not only the fashion and style of that era but also shedding light on the working conditions and opportunities available to individuals during that time. It serves as a reminder of how different professions have evolved over time and how societal norms have shifted.
