Summary | "A History of Advertising from the Earliest Times" by Henry Sampson is an extensive historical account written in the late 19th century. This work explores the development, significance, and evolution of advertising throughout history, illustrating its transformations and the various forms it has taken, from ancient times to the author's contemporary period. The book is likely to engage readers interested in the social and economic implications of advertising practices. The opening of the text presents an overview of the book's intent and acknowledges the inherent challenges in documenting such a broad subject. Sampson notes that advertising is often mistakenly perceived as a modern invention, emphasizing its roots that can be traced back to ancient civilizations such as Greece and Rome. He begins to highlight different forms of advertising seen in old newspapers, showcasing how these advertisements reflect the life and culture of their times. The author aims to illustrate the development of advertising practices as integral to commerce and society, setting the stage for a deeper examination in subsequent chapters.
