EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing engraving titled "Advert for the American Museum" by English School, dating back to the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and offers a fascinating glimpse into the advertising world of that era. The advert promotes the American Museum located at 8 Catherine Street in Strand, London. It features an attention-grabbing image of "American Jack, the Frog Man" who was undoubtedly one of the main attractions at this unique exhibition. The advertisement is dated August 6th, 1888. Visitors to this museum were promised a spectacle like no other as they ventured into a world filled with curiosities and wonders. From mermaids to freakish creatures, it seems that every oddity imaginable was on display within its walls. The engraving captures not only the essence of this extraordinary show but also reflects the vibrant atmosphere surrounding advertising during that time period. Advertisements played a crucial role in attracting audiences and enticing them to explore these peculiar exhibitions. As we gaze upon this historical artifact through our modern lens, we are transported back in time to witness how advertisements were crafted and employed over a century ago. This print serves as both an artistic treasure and a window into London's past – reminding us of how far advertising has come while preserving moments from history that continue to captivate us today.
