This print showcases an intriguing advertisement for Sheffield City Libraries, dating back to the year 1939. The image, sourced from The City of Sheffield Commercial Handbook and Illustrated Guide, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past and sheds light on the importance placed on knowledge and literacy during this era. The advertisement itself is thoughtfully designed, with subtle references that capture the essence of both the businessperson and the intelligent citizen. It serves as a reminder of how libraries were not only places for leisurely reading but also vital hubs for information exchange in society. Located in central Surrey Street, Sheffield City Libraries stood tall as a beacon of intellectual growth and community engagement. This photograph allows us to appreciate their efforts in promoting education through advertising.
