EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Bristol in the late 19th century. Standing tall and proud on Mary Le Port Street, we see the magnificent WD & HO Wills Tobacco Company tobacco shop and warehouse, a true icon of its era. The grandeur of this architectural masterpiece is truly awe-inspiring. As we delve into this nostalgic flashback, we are transported to an era where smoking was not just a habit but a way of life. The sight of people strolling down the street with cigarettes between their fingers evokes a sense of historical charm that is hard to replicate today. The Victorian influence is evident in every detail - from the ornate façade adorned with intricate carvings to the large display windows showcasing an array of tobacco products. This image serves as a reminder of how shops were once more than mere commercial spaces; they were cultural landmarks that shaped communities. Sadly, this beloved establishment met its demise in 1904 when it was demolished, making way for progress and modernization. However, through this beautifully preserved photograph, we can still appreciate its significance and pay homage to an important chapter in Bristol's history. As we gaze upon this snapshot frozen in time, our hearts fill with nostalgia for days gone by – when smoking was ubiquitous on city streets and grand buildings like these stood as testaments to craftsmanship and tradition.
