EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to April 1902, as we delve into the pages of the Army & Navy Catalogue. The engraving, created by an anonymous English School artist from the 20th century, showcases a fascinating glimpse into retail history. The image captures a page from this iconic catalogue, which was eagerly anticipated by shoppers during that era. It served as a lifeline for those seeking goods and products through mail order. In this particular section of the catalogue, we are transported to the hairdressing department where coiffure soiree styles were showcased. As we examine the page closely, we notice various items available for purchase - poudre moderne (modern powder) being one of them. This highlights not only fashion trends but also offers insight into grooming practices of that time period. It is intriguing to imagine how troops and armed forces relied on such catalogues to acquire necessary supplies while serving their country. This photograph reminds us of the importance these publications held in providing convenience and access to desired goods even during times of war. Preserved within a private collection belonging to Valerie Jackson Harris, this rare find allows us to appreciate both its historical significance and artistic value. As we gaze upon this piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, it sparks our curiosity about life in early 20th-century Britain and leaves us longing for more glimpses into our past through artful prints like these.
