The Art of Advertising by Julie Anne Lambert (Editor)Publication Date: 2020-05-29
Advertisers in the nineteenth and early twentieth century pushed the boundaries of printing, manipulated language, inspired a new form of art and exploited many formats, including calendars, bookmarks and games. This collection of essays examines the extent to which these standalone advertisements provide information not just on the sometimes bizarre products being sold, but also on class, gender, Britishness, war, fashion and shopping.
