Mills and Boon; Made in Hull

After yesterday's writing about the prominence of the Oil Feed Mills as an industry in Hull I found a few advertisements from manufacturers in the city.

These colourful prints will have been full page adverts in brochures and programmes for the large English County Shows and competitions which were events that attracted many thousands of people from the rural areas and towns in the mid to late 1800's.

Little is needed by way of description or explanation from these marketing marvels, many of them if not all, works of social commentary and commercial art in their own right.
