EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, titled "Advertising boards in Guildford" transports us back to a bustling street corner in the heart of Guildford, Surrey. The image captures a snapshot of English life in the 20th century, showcasing an array of vibrant advertising boards that line the town center. As we delve into this nostalgic scene, our eyes are drawn to various advertisements promoting different products and services. A cigar shop proudly displays its wares alongside enticing beer and cigarette adverts. The iconic OXO poster catches our attention with its bold red lettering, inviting passersby to indulge in their savory broth. The composition skillfully captures the essence of urban life during this era. Each advertisement competes for attention on these hoardings, creating a visual cacophony that mirrors the lively atmosphere of Guildford's streets. Through this photograph, we gain insight into the evolving tastes and preferences of society at that time. It serves as a reminder of how advertising has always played a significant role in shaping consumer behavior and reflecting cultural trends. Preserved by Guildford Borough Council and showcased at eGuildford House Gallery, this remarkable piece is now part of public heritage. As it falls out of copyright restrictions, it allows us to appreciate both the artistry behind English photography from yesteryears and offers glimpses into everyday life in historic Surrey - an invaluable treasure for all lovers of fine art photography.
