This advertisement for Birds Custard Powder, published in the Coronation Number of The Graphic in 1902, celebrates the historic event of the coronation of King Edward VII. The advertisement features a regal crown atop a packet of Birds Custard Powder, symbolizing the patriotic spirit of the Edwarian era. The use of the crown, a traditional symbol of monarchy and royalty, adds an air of elegance and sophistication to the advertisement. The Coronation of King Edward VII, which took place on August 9, 1902, was a grand and elaborate affair, attended by thousands of people from all walks of life. The occasion marked the beginning of a new era in British history, and the advertisement for Birds Custard Powder reflects the excitement and anticipation surrounding the event. Birds Custard Powder was a popular food product during the early 20th century, and this advertisement would have reached a wide audience through The Graphic, a prestigious and influential weekly magazine of the time. The advertisement's use of the crown and the reference to the coronation would have resonated with readers, reinforcing the connection between the product and the royal event. The advertisement also serves as a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering insights into the advertising techniques and visual styles of the early 20th century. The use of a simple, yet effective design, along with the evocative imagery of the crown, would have captured the attention of readers and left a lasting impression.
