Press advertisment for British Coal, May 1966. Artist: Michael Walters
Press advertisment for British Coal, 1966. In a photograph taken for a press ad, a woman is seen sewing in her modern mid 1960s living room. Behind her sits a radiogram. Some forty years prior to micro audio systems being taken for granted, these state of the art entertainment systems could be found in living rooms across the land. Stereo sound was yet to be introduced so sound was reproduced in mono through a single speaker. To the right, a black and white TV sits in the corner of the room. The photograph was taken to promote the use of coal in a competitive market place where the cleaner gas supply was gaining in popularity. Taken in the heyday of coal production in the South Yorkshire area the photo was commissioned by British Coal, who had their headquarters close to the studio in Mexborough, where it was taken.
