EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the bustling streets of Sheffield, Yorkshire in 1907. The image showcases an advertisement for James Bramah, a prominent furnishing ironmonger and athletic outfitter located at 39 Surrey Street. It is a fascinating glimpse into the world of retail during this era. The photograph captures the essence of early 20th-century advertising with its bold typography and intricate design. The sign proudly displays James Bramah's name and profession, emphasizing his expertise as both an ironmonger and athletic outfitter. This unique combination suggests that he catered not only to household needs but also to the growing interest in sports and physical activities. The location itself, Surrey Street, was undoubtedly a hub of activity where locals would gather to explore various shops and businesses. One can imagine passersby being drawn towards this eye-catching advertisement, enticed by promises of quality products and exceptional service. Preserved by Sheffield City Libraries, this original print allows us to appreciate the craftsmanship involved in creating such advertisements over a century ago.
