Kitchen Warfare - A Chaotic Christmas Advertisement
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This lithograph from the 19th century, titled "Kitchen Warfare" is an advertisement for Birds Custard Powder. The image showcases a mischievous scene in a Victorian kitchen during the festive season. In this chaotic depiction, a woman dressed in traditional attire finds herself engaged in a food fight, throwing eggs and custard powder at her opponents. The artist skillfully captures the mayhem and humor of this culinary battle, emphasizing the playful nature of the advertisement. Amidst the mess and laughter, one cannot help but notice the waste of precious ingredients that could have been used to create delectable treats for Christmas. The vibrant colors and intricate details transport us back to 1896 when this artwork was featured in Pears Annual magazine. It offers us a glimpse into British culture at that time, showcasing both their love for indulgent desserts like custard powder and their sense of fun during holiday celebrations. As we admire this print from Bridgeman Images' Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, it serves as a reminder of how advertising has evolved over time. This whimsical portrayal not only promotes Birds Custard Powder but also reflects societal values surrounding food consumption and entertainment. Let us appreciate this snapshot from history while pondering how far we have come since then – both in our approach to advertising and our appreciation for culinary delights without wasting them in playful battles like those depicted here.
