This print showcases a vintage advertisement blotter for the esteemed Francis A. Tinker and Sons, General Decorators and Contractors, located on Spital Hill in Sheffield. Established back in 1890, this family-run business has left an indelible mark on the city's architectural landscape. The original print can be found at the renowned Sheffield Local Studies Library within their MP Folder 62 collection. The image transports us to a bygone era when advertising was an art form in itself. This beautifully designed blotter exudes elegance and sophistication with its intricate details and impeccable craftsmanship. It serves as a testament to Tinker and Sons' commitment to excellence throughout their long-standing history.

Their meticulous work breathes life into buildings, transforming them from mere structures into works of art.
