Gracefully printed in The Sphere newspaper on 1 February 1936, this full-page advertisement radiates prestige and Edwardian refinement. The fine line drawing of Stratford Place, with its classical façades and gaslamps, sets the tone for a product described as both palatable and health-giving — ideal for mixing with spirits or enjoyed on its own.

With over 60 years of international acclaim by the time of publication, Apollinaris was branded as The Queen of Table Waters and proudly listed as served in “High-Class Hotels and Stores” as well as on transatlantic liners. The inclusion of the Royal Warrant — “By Appointment during Three Successive Reigns” — solidifies its elite association, while the headquarters at 4 Stratford Place, London W.1., grounds it firmly in British commercial tradition.

This piece blends graphic artistry, advertising heritage, and a glimpse into interwar upper-class life. Perfect for collectors of British beverage history, ocean liner ephemera, or Royal Warrant memorabilia, it offers a refined and dignified slice of vintage branding at its peak.
