EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time to 1907 Sheffield, Yorkshire, with this print from the Sheffield City Archives. The image showcases an intriguing advertisement for T and J Roberts, a renowned shop that proudly claimed to be the 'cheapest shop for all Empire Day supplies. ' Empire Day was a significant event during that era, celebrated across the British Empire as a symbol of unity and patriotism. This vibrant advertisement captures the essence of that time when communities came together to honor their shared heritage. The photograph offers a glimpse into Moorhead, one of Sheffield's bustling districts at the turn of the century. The storefront is adorned with eye-catching displays featuring an array of merchandise specifically tailored for Empire Day celebrations. From flags and bunting to costumes and decorations, T and J Roberts seemed to have it all. Sheffield City Libraries has preserved this original piece meticulously, allowing us to appreciate its historical significance today. It serves as a reminder of how advertising played an integral role in promoting local businesses while fostering community spirit. As we gaze upon this snapshot from over a century ago, we are transported back in time—immersing ourselves in an era where pride in one's empire was paramount. Let this evocative image ignite our imagination as we reflect on our collective history.
