EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this stunning 1895 advertisement for Murrays Chocolate, featuring their exquisite Florence variety. The image, reminiscent of the Belle Époque era, showcases the elegant and sophisticated charm of this century-old chocolate brand. The advertisement, adorned with intricate gold detailing and ornate typography, invites viewers to indulge in the "Purest Chocolates," promising "120 grains of cocoa in every ounce." The use of the number 120, a common marketing tactic during the late 19th century, emphasizes the high quality and richness of the chocolate. The advertisement also highlights the "289 calories per ounce" of the Florence chocolate, which, while a significant caloric intake by today's standards, was considered a luxurious indulgence during the Victorian era. The image of a woman delicately holding a box of Murrays Chocolate further emphasizes the refined and indulgent nature of the product. This advertisement, with its intricate design and enticing promises, offers a glimpse into the world of late 19th-century advertising and the allure of Murrays Chocolate. The Florence variety, with its premium quality and luxurious appeal, remains an iconic representation of the opulence and indulgence of the Belle Époque era.
