EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically to the year 1887 in America. The image showcases an American magazine advertisement for TARRANTs SELTZER APERIENT, a popular patent medicine of that era. The engraving is rich with intriguing details, offering a glimpse into the advertising techniques employed during this time. In the forefront of the picture stands a peculiar figure - a hillbilly character wearing overalls and a straw hat. This comical portrayal adds an element of humor to the ad, capturing attention immediately. Clutching onto his bear companion by its leash, he seems to be endorsing this quack remedy with great enthusiasm. The text accompanying the illustration further emphasizes its purpose as an advertisement for TARRANTs SELTZER APERIENT. Although we cannot see it clearly in this particular print, we can imagine how persuasive and enticing these words must have been in encouraging potential customers to purchase this "miracle" product. Overall, this print from Granger Art on Demand provides us with valuable insight into historical advertising practices in America during the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder of how different marketing strategies were back then compared to today's standards while also highlighting some amusing aspects of cultural representation prevalent at that time.
