EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in October 1888, showcases an aerial view of Advert's Lewiss Department Store located in the bustling city of Manchester, England. The large, imposing building stands proudly amidst the urban landscape, its grandeur and sophistication a testament to the thriving retail industry of the late 1800s. The store, with its intricate architectural details and ornate facade, was a beacon for shoppers seeking the latest fashion trends. The Victorian era was a time of innovation and progress, and Lewiss Department Store reflected this in its extensive range of dresses and garments made from the finest materials and fabrics. From delicate silk gowns to sturdy woolen coats, the store catered to the diverse needs of the northern market. The photograph captures the store's impressive size and scale, with its numerous windows illuminating the interior and inviting passersby to explore the wonders within. The street outside teems with activity, with horse-drawn carriages and pedestrians dotted around, adding to the vibrant atmosphere of the city. The patterns and textures of the building's exterior, from the intricate brickwork to the ornate ironwork, are a feast for the eyes. The photograph offers a glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when shopping was an experience, a social occasion, and a source of pride and pleasure. This photograph is a stunning reminder of Manchester's rich retail history and the role that Lewiss Department Store played in shaping the city's fashion landscape during the Victorian era.
