EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, we are transported back in time to the vibrant and innovative world of window displays in Liverpool, England, circa 1959. The focus of our attention is the stunning creation gracing the windows of Owen Owen, a prominent department store located in the heart of the city. The display, which showcases the decorative adhesive Fablon, is a feast for the eyes, brimming with creativity, color, and intricacy. The Owen Owen team has outdone themselves with this Fablon display, transforming the storefront into a whimsical underwater wonderland. The windows are adorned with an array of fabrics, ribbons, and other decorative elements, all held in place with the versatile and transparent Fablon adhesive. The result is a mesmerizing scene of undulating waves, playful fish, and enchanting coral formations, each meticulously crafted to capture the imagination of passersby. The Fablon display at Owen Owen is a testament to the artistry and ingenuity of the window dressing industry during the post-war era. As department stores competed for the attention of shoppers, elaborate and eye-catching window displays became a crucial aspect of their marketing strategies. The use of Fablon adhesive allowed designers to create intricate and visually stunning displays that could withstand the elements and capture the public's imagination. This photograph not only offers a glimpse into the past but also serves as a reminder of the transformative power of creativity and imagination. The Owen Owen Fablon display continues to inspire and delight, inviting us to appreciate the artistry and craftsmanship that went into bringing this underwater world to life.
