Art pieces from the Victorian era incorporated high fashion, gilded age, splendor, romance, strict etiquette and plush decorating styles. The Victorian Age is associated with romantic, nostalgic & sentimental designs.
The above image is an example of Victorian Age design being used to promote products. As you can see, the above designs are all symmetrical, they contain cloth banners with clear writing & each side of the tins are framed with a border. These are all aspects of the Victorian Age, which makes these designs effective. In my opinion the quality of these pieces are good & the detail is neat and precise.
The above image is an advertisement for Coca Cola from the Victorian Age. Aspects that make this apparent include the following: symmetrical layout, framed center image, decorative border and large, clear font. I think this advert would have been very appropriate and effective at the time it was produced as it reflects many design aspects from this era and would draw the audience in and make them want to purchase this product.
I was attracted to this piece as I found the use of the tints & shades of red were eye catching and the image of the lady is very feminine and traditional.
