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.
