A history of advertising from the earliest times : illustrated by anecdotes, curious specimens and biographical notes
Henry Sampson's 1874 survey of advertising from antiquity onward, published in London by Chatto and Windus for general readers interested in trade history and curiosities. Wood-engraved cuts reproduce shop signs, grotesque masks, ancient coins and seals with Hebrew and Greek lettering, portrait sketches of tradesmen, and small comic scenes, useful as line-art ornament, emblem, and vignette source.
