EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Toucan advertisement DP312494" transports us back in time to the Blythe Hill Tavern, a charming public house nestled in the heart of Forest Hill, Lewisham, Greater London. In this snapshot of history captured by s tella Fitzgerald for Historic England, we are presented with a general view that beautifully encapsulates the essence of this iconic establishment. Standing proudly on the south-east corner of the tavern is an eye-catching Guinness advertising poster, its vibrant colors and bold typography drawing our attention. However, what truly makes this image poignant is the presence of a woman standing next to it wearing a protective mask amidst the Covid-19 pandemic. This juxtaposition serves as a reminder of how our world has changed and adapted over time. The photograph not only showcases an intriguing blend of old-world charm and modern-day reality but also highlights the power of advertising in shaping our cultural landscape. The Toucan advertisement becomes more than just a promotional tool; it becomes part of the fabric that connects people within their community. Through this lens into history, we can appreciate both the timeless appeal of establishments like Blythe Hill Tavern and how they have evolved to meet contemporary challenges. It invites us to reflect on our own experiences during these unprecedented times while reminding us that even amidst adversity, life continues to thrive – albeit with masks on faces and advertisements on walls.
