EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an intriguing advertisement for Keatings insecticide powder, a renowned pest control brand in the early 20th century. The colour lithograph, created by an English School artist, was originally featured in The Coloured Pictorial on May 31st, 1902. The image transports us back to a time when vibrant and eye-catching illustrations were used to promote products. In this particular artwork, we see a cemetery setting with tombstones scattered amidst lush greenery. It's an unexpected backdrop for an advertisement but one that effectively captures attention. The juxtaposition of death and insects may seem unusual at first glance; however, it cleverly conveys the message of Keatings insecticide powder as a powerful solution against pesky pests that can cause harm or discomfort. The intricate details of the lithograph draw our eyes towards the central focus – a large insect hovering above the tombstone. As we delve into this piece further, it becomes apparent that there is more than meets the eye. Beyond its advertising purpose lies historical significance and cultural context from early 20th-century England. This snapshot offers glimpses into trade practices, business enterprises, and even societal attitudes towards pest control during that era. Overall, this print not only serves as a visual delight but also invites us to explore various aspects such as art history and marketing strategies while reflecting upon how times have changed since then.
