Early advertising

Early advertising April 2, 2007

Seen in the advertising section of many 18th-century English newspapers: “a fine young breast of milk willing to enter a gentleman’s household.” Presumably attached to a wet nurse.

And an advertisement for a bed that “at the head . . . in the full centre front, appears sparkling with electrical fire, through a glory of burnished and effulgent gold, the great, first, and ever operating commandment, BE FRUITFUL, MULTIPLY AND REPLENISH THE EARTH.”
