Description
A two-up printer’s proof for Sanatogen, with the same illustrated advertisement printed twice on one sheet. A woman in a pale green dress reaches towards a white dove above a rocky coastline, while a reclining man watches from the grass. Each scene has vivid blue sea and sky beneath yellow SANATOGEN lettering, and bears the signature of W. Smithson Broadhead.
The untrimmed sheet retains registration crosses, a vertical strip of printer’s colour patches and handwritten notes in the margins. These production details make it an interesting survival from the commercial printing process. Broadhead was a British advertising artist also known for his striking railway posters of the 1930s.
