About the Item
Page 1: Scottish Gathering, Glasgow Exhibition, and Albert Gate Buildings
This hand-colored wood engraving, published in The Illustrated London News on May 26, 1888, features three distinct topics of significant cultural and architectural interest. The richly detailed scenes and accompanying text offer a fascinating snapshot of Victorian life and progress.
The top section showcases a portrait of Sir Archibald Campbell, President of the Glasgow Exhibition, whose leadership and contributions to the event are highlighted. Below this is a detailed illustration of the New Buildings at Albert Gate, depicting their elegant design and prominence within London’s urban landscape. The intricate architectural rendering reflects the Victorian fascination with progress and grand public works.
The lower half focuses on the Scottish Gathering on Whit Monday, an event steeped in cultural heritage. Two lively panels depict traditional Highland games, including the iconic hammer throw and stone putting contests. Participants dressed in tartans compete amidst a cheering crowd, celebrating Scotland’s cultural pride and traditions. These vibrant scenes offer a rich depiction of Victorian-era festivities and sportsmanship.
This page is a vibrant and historically significant piece, offering insights into Victorian culture, architecture, and heritage celebrations.
Page 2 (the reverse): St. Jacobs Oil Advertisement
This stunning black-and-white woodcut advertisement for St. Jacobs Oil for Veterinary Purposes combines artistic beauty with commercial appeal. The central focus is a detailed illustration of a horse’s head, framed by a horseshoe. Surrounding elements include ropes, saddles, and smaller inset scenes of equestrian life, emphasizing the product’s utility for horse care.
The text proudly declares the product’s superiority over other liniments and embrocations, with “In Yellow Wrappers” prominently featured to reinforce brand identity. The design is both eye-catching and elegant, a hallmark of Victorian advertising, where artistry and commerce blended seamlessly.
This advertisement is an exceptional example of 19th-century marketing, appealing to equestrian enthusiasts and collectors of veterinary or equine history. Its crisp engraving and detailed imagery make it a striking display piece.
