EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of advertising in the 19th century. The Selfridges Advertisement (engraving) by English School, beautifully preserved in a private collection, showcases a page of song lyrics adorned with illustrated adverts for Selfridges and Zam-buk. The intricate engravings depict scenes from popular songs such as "A Bird in a Gilded Cage" "Nellie Dean" and "Don't Dilly Dally on the Way". These lyrical treasures offer us an enchanting insight into the musical tastes and cultural interests of that era. As we delve deeper into this historical artwork, we are transported back to a time when printed ephemera played an essential role in promoting shops and products. The inclusion of wildlife imagery adds another layer of intrigue to this advertisement, featuring various birds including sea birds and fowls. While admiring this piece, one cannot help but marvel at how advertising has evolved over time. From these charming illustrations to today's digital campaigns, it is clear that creativity has always been at the heart of capturing consumers' attention. This print serves as both a visual delight and a reminder of our ever-changing commercial landscape. It invites us to reflect on the power of artistry in marketing while appreciating the beauty found within these forgotten relics from history.
