EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Sheffield City Archives takes us back to the year 1902, immersing us in a moment of frustration and curiosity. The image features a vintage poster of the "Sheffield Weekly Telegraph" prominently displayed on a wall. The caption beneath it reads, "Confound it! Why is my Weekly Telegraph not here?". These words encapsulate the exasperation felt by an individual eagerly awaiting their beloved newspaper. The photograph transports us to a time when newspapers were an essential source of information and entertainment for communities across Yorkshire. In this era before digital media, people relied heavily on printed publications like the Sheffield Weekly Telegraph to stay informed about local news, events, and stories that shaped their lives. The faded colors and aged texture of the poster evoke nostalgia while reminding us of its historical significance. It serves as a reminder that even in 1902, people experienced moments of impatience when their expected sources of knowledge did not arrive promptly. Preserved with care at Sheffield Libraries (y13835), this print offers a glimpse into the past—a testament to how media consumption has evolved over time. It invites viewers to reflect on our own reliance on instant access to information today while appreciating the anticipation and eagerness that once accompanied waiting for physical copies of cherished publications like the Sheffield Weekly Telegraph.
