EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a page from the Penny Illustrated Paper, dating back to June 4th, 1892. The engraving features two distinct advertisements that captivated readers of the time. The first advertisement promotes the Polytechnic Cycling Club, enticing sportswomen and sportsmen alike to join their ranks. With cycling gaining popularity as a recreational activity during this era, this ad would have surely caught the attention of many enthusiasts looking for like-minded individuals to share their passion with. The second advertisement introduces Bertellis Catramin Pills, a medication believed to possess healing properties. In an age where medical advancements were still in their infancy, such remedies often held great appeal among those seeking relief from various ailments. Together, these advertisements provide a fascinating glimpse into the past and shed light on societal interests and concerns of the late 19th century. They reflect not only the growing fascination with sports but also society's ongoing search for effective healthcare solutions. Preserved within a private collection today, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic beauty of engravings from that period and gain insight into historical advertising practices. It serves as a reminder that while times may change, human curiosity remains constant across generations.
