Crosse & Blackwell products - photography by Francis Bruguière, c1930
From an article on creative photography published in 1931, a very fine photographic composition intended for use in a Crosse & Blackwell advert. C&B is still in existance as a trademark although the old established London company, based int he Soho Square area of the city for many years has long gone - and indeed, the remnants of the old works and offices have recently been demolished for Crossrail works in London. This shows many of the company's food products in tins, bottles and glasses - and the use of very traditional design and typography that was intended to show C&B's roots in the 18th century. Indeed the pickle and piccalilli labels are effectively versions of the company's very earliest labels.
Francis Bruguière was an American experimental photographer and artist.
