EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century London. The print showcases an advert for Messrs Maskelyne and Cookes Hall, a renowned entertainment venue known as the Egyptian Hall. Steeped in mystery and allure, this advertisement transports us to a time when magic and wonder captivated audiences. The focal point of the image is undoubtedly The Scottish Giant, whose interview is prominently featured in the advert. Towering over ordinary men, his imposing figure commands attention while piquing our curiosity about what secrets he might reveal within those hallowed walls. The intricate details of this engraving draw us into its rich tapestry. From the ornate lettering that spells out "Messrs Maskelyne and Cookes Hall" to the grand architecture of the Egyptian Hall itself, every element tells a story. It evokes a sense of anticipation for what awaits inside – perhaps illusions that defy logic or performances that transport spectators to far-off lands. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from Peter Jackson's collection, we are reminded of how advertising has evolved over time. This piece serves as a testament to the power of imagery and storytelling in enticing audiences through its doors. While it may not mention commercial use explicitly, this print acts as both an artistic relic and a window into an era where entertainment was shrouded in mystique. It invites us to step back in time and imagine ourselves among those who eagerly sought out extraordinary experiences at Messrs
