BACK TO SENSATION PRESS MAIN INDEX

All Victorian ads are from United Kingdom publications.
The pictures on this website were taken with a digital camera or scanner and resized in Photoshop.
No magazines or books were destroyed or damaged in the process.

As I am concentrating on Braddon at present, I probably won't be updating the Victorian Advertising part of the website this year (2007). People seem to have enjoyed these pages, but I would like to say that the adverts in no way qualify me to value your antiques! I can't reply to emails like that any more, or I will never get anything else done. So instead of asking me for values or information on objects, I would advise you take them to your local auction house and ask to speak to someone there.
