EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print from 1901 showcases an advertisement for Purina Mills Ralston Breakfast Food, a popular American cereal at the time. The image features a colorful and eye-catching magazine ad that promotes the quick and convenient breakfast option to consumers. In the foreground, there is a packet of the cereal, a bowl filled with the crispy flakes, and a clock indicating it's time for breakfast. Surrounding these items are fresh fruits adding to the appeal of a healthy start to the day.
The artwork captures the essence of early 20th-century advertising with its bold typography and vibrant colors that would have surely caught the attention of readers flipping through their magazines in July 1901. The nostalgic feel of this piece transports us back to a simpler time when breakfast was enjoyed without distractions from screens or social media.
Terry Parker has expertly captured not just an advertisement but also a snapshot of American food culture in St. Louis during this era. This print serves as both a historical document and a piece of art that can be appreciated for its aesthetic value as well as its cultural significance. It reminds us of how far we've come in terms of convenience foods while also evoking feelings of nostalgia for simpler times gone by.
