Debenham & Freebody was one of London's best-known department stores, and this advertisement pairs the firm's name with a woman posed in a fur coat, a combination that shows how the store marketed luxury outerwear to its middle- and upper-class customers. Advertisements of this kind usually ran in newspapers and magazines, where fashion illustration and a well-dressed figure were meant to suggest status and seasonal taste. Look at how the fur, the posture and the lettering work together to sell the idea of warmth, elegance and a trusted shop rather than the garment alone.
