EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Sheffield in 1939. The image showcases an advertisement for Arnold Laver and Co. Ltd. , prominent timber importers located on Bramall Lane. Standing tall against the backdrop of a vibrant cityscape, this advertisement captures the essence of a bygone era. The attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke and letter meticulously crafted to entice passersby into exploring the world of high-quality timber offered by Arnold Laver and Co. Ltd. The sign proudly displays their name, emphasizing their expertise as trusted merchants in the industry. Bramall Lane itself exudes energy, with its busy sidewalks filled with people going about their daily lives. This photograph not only immortalizes a specific moment in time but also serves as a testament to Sheffield's commercial prowess during this period. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, it is impossible not to be transported back in time – imagining what life was like for those who walked these very streets over eight decades ago. It serves as a reminder that even amidst changing times, some things remain constant: the power of advertising, the importance of local businesses, and the enduring legacy left behind by companies such as Arnold Laver and Co. Ltd. This print from Sheffield City Archives allows us to appreciate both the artistry involved in creating advertisements from yesteryears while offering glimpses into our shared past that continue to shape our present-day landscape.
