Have you seen vintage advertisements for household brands such as LUX and Anchor in the early 1900s? Beyond promoting products, these advertisements offer fascinating insights into the everyday lives of people in the past.
By turns humorous and thought-provoking, this session explores print advertisements found in our rare newspapers and magazines collection, uncovering how they reflected social attitudes, lifestyles, and consumer aspirations of their time.
