Richard Roberts Archive’s Post

Business-to-business advertising has very different objectives to those aimed at the consumer. Here in 1957 ICI is simply stating the properties and availability of its titanium. With a high-quality reference to an aeroplane where it is used. #history #richardrobertsarchive #advertisement #archive #historypreserved #stockport #heritage #manchester #research #printadvertising

The second Oneida advertisement, from 1966, is very different, showing more of a sense of fun, to emphasise modernity, perhaps to attract a younger clientele. #history #richardrobertsarchive #advertisement #archive #historypreserved #stockport #heritage #manchester #research #printadvertising

This Ideal Standard advertisement dates from 1955. But it is so striking that it could almost attract a customer in 2024. Perhaps not. #history #richardrobertsarchive #advertisement #archive #historypreserved #stockport #heritage #manchester #research #printadvertising

A clever play on words in this HP Sauce advertisement from 1954, with strikingly effective use of simple illustration and no background. It may take a few seconds to get the joke. #history #richardrobertsarchive #advertisement #archive #historypreserved #stockport #heritage #manchester #research #printadvertising

📌 HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED THE CRUCIAL IMPORTANCE OF THE STATE OF PRESERVATION OF WORKS OF ART? This issue is too often overlooked, but you should know that without proper care and attention, works of art are in danger of decaying and vanishing forever. But why should we care about the state of preservation of works of art? Here are some insights: -Correct conservation ensures that the artwork can continue to excite us, preserving its beauty and integrity over time. - Works of art, especially those by renowned artists, can reach stratospheric valuations in the marketplace. But, if not properly preserved, it may suffer significant devaluation. - The state of preservation of the work is one of the aspects to consider when making an appraisal of the work. Did you know. #artmarket #artrestoration #wealthmanagement #heritage

Sometimes the sheer joy of an advertisement attracts. This example also demonstrates the ability of an illustration – in this case clearly from the late 1950s, to create an atmosphere in a way that would be impossible with a photograph. #history #richardrobertsarchive #advertisement #archive #historypreserved #stockport #heritage #manchester #research #printadvertising

How to look after Art? Art can help you tell stories about people, periods and places. It is no secret that it has been used for centuries to tell tales of the past and capture moments in time. The arts have a way of sharing a narrative, showing a time and place, and capturing an emotion and environment. But with that many items in an art collection may be delicate or require special care once in a collection. When it comes to caring for your collections, there are processes in place to ensure they are safe and protected from harm and damage. The care of collections is the responsibility of everyone who looks after or works with a collection. The sooner processes can be introduced the better it is and easier to maintain and improve adherence to professional standards. Collections care is about ensuring your collections are protected and safeguarded through: ✅ Level 1: Risks to your collection; packing and moving your items; setting up and reviewing your store ✅ Level 2: Guidance for specific types of collection; caring for film and audio collections; writing a Collections Care and Conservation policy ✅ Level 3: Writing a Collections Care and Conservation Plan Learn more about the preservation, digitisation, and general care for your collections via our Sporting Heritage toolkit resource on our website: https://bit.ly/46GanPL. #sportandart #heritage #sportingheritage

One of two contrasting advertisements from the cutlery manufacturer Oneida. This one, from 1965, photographs the product against an historic tapestry, to emphasise tradition and quality. Second example tomorrow... #history #richardrobertsarchive #advertisement #archive #historypreserved #stockport #heritage #manchester #research #printadvertising
