Vintage Photograph Eden Park Library Tobacconist and Stationer

£30.00

A striking vintage black and white photograph capturing the frontage of Eden Park Library at 4 Eden Park Parade, run by H. Kidd. The signage reveals a shop that was both tobacconist and stationer, offering developing and printing services alongside newspapers, cigarettes, and R. White’s ginger beer.

The window and pavement displays are full of character, with bold boards advertising Wills’s Three Castles Cigarettes, R. White’s Soda, and newspaper headlines such as “Four Raids by Bandits” and “Honolulu Sentences.” A perfect slice of everyday street life, rich with advertising detail and typography of the era.

Format: original black and white photograph (not a reproduction)

Subject: Eden Park Library shopfront, tobacconist and stationer

Size: approx. 14 cm x 9 cm

Era: mid 20th century (likely 1930s–40s)

Ideal for collectors of vintage photography, shopfront ephemera, or anyone inspired by early advertising and street scenes. This piece would also make a wonderful reference for collage, altered art, or historical display.
