Drawing Ad

Date?

Major George Conrad Roller
From: ProjectNews
For almost 40
years George Roller was responsible for many of Burberry’s advertising
illustrations; over the years he must have drawn thousands of pictures
of people modelling the company’s garments! This example is typical
both of the type of clothes the company produced and the market they
were aimed at – the well-to-do, out-doors (‘hunting, shooting and
fishing’) type.
