Amid the elegance of Edwardian taste, cider held its own as both refreshment and refinement. This beautifully illustrated 1910 advertisement for Whiteway’s Cyders, featuring a powdered servant offering a goblet to a seated lady of fashion, captures the theatrical pride of British agricultural heritage — with a twist of noble endorsement and export ambition.

Published in The Graphic on May 14, 1910, the ad celebrates the natural vitality of “Prime Vintage Apples”, promoting Whiteway’s as a healthy, light, and invigorating drink. The firm, based in Whimple, Devon, and represented in London at Albert Embankment, was a Royal Warrant holder, supplying not just H.M. the King but “many members of the Royal Family.” Measuring approx. 5⅛ x 3¾ inches, it’s a standout piece of food and drink advertising, with a confident balance of rural provenance and cosmopolitan reach.

For collectors of Devonshire history, vintage beverage advertising, or Royal-endorsed producers, this advertisement embodies the prestige and purity of early 20th-century British cyder-making. Offered in decent vintage condition, it reminds us how seriously cider was once celebrated — not just as a drink, but as a national pride.
