EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 19th century showcases an advertisement for St Jacobs Oil, a renowned product of its time. The print, now part of a private collection, offers a glimpse into the world of advertising in Victorian London. The image depicts a bustling road in Farringdon, where this iconic oil was promoted by the Charles A Vogeler Company. With its prominent placement on The Illustrated London News publication on September 1st, 1888, it is evident that St Jacobs Oil held great significance during that era. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship of this English School engraving are truly remarkable. It transports us back to a time when advertisements were meticulously created works of art rather than mere commercial promotions. As we delve into this historic piece, we can almost imagine the vibrant atmosphere surrounding Farringdon Road as people passed by and caught sight of this enticing advert. Its presence would have undoubtedly piqued curiosity and enticed potential customers to explore the benefits offered by St Jacobs Oil. Today, through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, we have the privilege to appreciate and reflect upon this fascinating snapshot from our past. It serves as a reminder not only of how far advertising has evolved but also how artistry can be found even within promotional materials.
