Thorntons girl Posted April 29, 2017 Share Posted April 29, 2017 Hi everyone, I wonder if anyone can help me with some information about this print I have. It was given to me by my Grandad years ago and he had had it awhile. I have looked on the internet and cannot find anything!! I would appreciate any help Thanks in advance.

History dude Posted May 9, 2017 Share Posted May 9, 2017 My guess would be some kind of advertising for pipe smoking. Possibly by one of the big brands of pipe tobacco. Smoking wasn't as frowned upon in the past. The clue to dating it would be that pipe. It would have come in at some date. Date the pipe and you will get a clue to how old it is.

Thorntons girl Posted May 9, 2017 Author Share Posted May 9, 2017 Thanks for that info,any ideas of early tobacco companies there were years ago or dates the poster may have been made? It really is a mystery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A similar photo from an original in the National Archives. Celebrating the Royal Jubilee 1887 Child with Pipe, Bottle and Glass. Prints advertised for sale from Mary Evans Picture Library with a link to the National Archives Gallery. Bizarre! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
