Description: | This programme was produced for the International Fire Exhibition held at Earl?s Court in 1903. In addition to describing parades, drills, and marching bands, the programme is interesting for its advertising. The first advert features a flattering portrait of the cricketer W. G. Grace publicising the "People" newspaper, a Sunday tabloid, and another promotes Mexican cigars. Before the health risks of smoking were known, both the use and advertisement of tobacco were widespread. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Bishopsgate Institute | Rights holder: | Unknown Copyright | Subjects: | Public services Leisure Art and Design | Temporal: | 1903 | Source: | Bishopsgate Institute | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
