The Grand Hotel and the Headland Hotel, Torquay : press advert in the "Food & Wine" periodical, 1935
The rear cover of a edition of the upmarket "Food and Wine" periodical from 1935 and that was printed at the Curwen Press in Plaistow, London. It is advertising a suitably 'upmarket' destination, that of the "English Riviera", Torquay, and two hotels the Grand and the Headland that seem to have been in joint ownership.
The advert appears to use artwork based on tapering hand drawn lettering and, printed in red, is quite striking against the buff card covers.
