The idea is to create a traditional print inspired by Marks & Spencer - reminiscing on how it first started and how they used to advertise. The University of Leeds holds the Marks & Spencer Archive in the Michael Marks building. From visiting the archive, it was uplifting to see how such a small stall in Leeds Kirkgate market has become something of a huge British department shop.
Marks and Spencer's famous slogan during their days at the stall was 'Don't ask the price it's a penny' and this was back when it was it was called 'Mark's Penny Bazaar', before Tom Spencer's influence on the business.
In the beginning, Marks & Spencer used to advertised in newspapers, Grand Annuals and on their window display until the 1950s where they were advertise on cinema screens.
