In the past couple of sessions, I have been exploring the British Newspaper Archives something has come to my Attention. I remember when I was studying for my undergrad dissertation and the struggle with viewing the Newspapers. The newspapers stored at the Herbert art Gallery, History Centre used microfilm, allowing the image to be preserved. These often had to be booked for viewing so I subscribed to The BNA to get the sources I needed. The problem however is what I have just run into. Below is an 1879 Advertisement for Colman’s Mustard and Given it’s age we should be just grateful we can see the piece in all its glory.

Obviously, though I would love to have a better quality piece but ah well. I do promise to go back to posting satire but I make no exceptions.
