They sold a range of adornments and collectibles, but the repeated referral to their contents as ‘curiosities’ raises questions as to how toyshops related to other spaces associated with curious articles, such as cabinets of curiosity. As retail sites, toyshops were part of consumer changes, whereas cabinets housed collectibles more associated with enlightened enquiry, so are often separated in the historiography. This survey considers toyshops in London and Birmingham, both in what they sold and their approaches to displaying and promoting these goods, in relation to the contents and experience in cabinets. This juxtaposes two forms of acquisition, collecting and consumption, and situates objects associated with knowledge acquisition and ‘trifling’ in the same discussion. Furthermore, the increasing emphasis on polite shopping is considered with reference to continuing requirements for attracting custom, which could be enhanced through exciting curiosity.","PeriodicalId":36537,"journal":{"name":"History of Retailing and Consumption","volume":"5 1","pages":"205 - 227"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2373518X.2019.1703321","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60101685","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The five papers assembled here will take the reader in new and often exciting directions with a shared concern to uncover under-studied source material and a willingness to explore and thematize shopping and consumption from a fine-grained and detailed historical perspective. The commodity culture of the Enlightenment will be analyzed to discover how it was embodied, enacted and perceived in its own time and context. In what follows, the reader will be introduced to toy- and bookshops in Enlightenment England; the role of provincial fairs; the way illicit goods were instrumental in tying consumer and retailers together in late eighteenth century Sweden; and, finally, learn more about subsequent phases of regulation and deregulation of the Viennese food markets around 1800. The following articles make the important implicit claim that shopping cultures in the Enlightenment worked ‘differently’, according to other cultural value schemes, conventions and norms than our own. These often-hidden cultural contexts remain in dire need to be resuscitated by uncovering new sources, doing careful methodological analysis, and by creatively connecting new findings to already existing knowledge.","PeriodicalId":36537,"journal":{"name":"History of Retailing and Consumption","volume":"5 1","pages":"195 - 204"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-09-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2373518X.2019.1703320","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41553054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two popular genres of images are contrasted: images of corsets in Swedish fashion advertisements, and images of corsets and undergarments in Swedish fashion magazines. While fashion advertisements in general copied fashion magazine images, they chose a different path in regard of the corset and the mirror. The two objects, albeit important parts of the period’s fashion, are made invisible in fashion magazines while clearly visualized in the advertisements. The purpose of Swedish fashion magazines was not only to present the latest fashion, but also to construct a conception of timeless womanhood well integrated into the predominant ideology of domesticity. Vanity, gossip, and erotic desires were staple goods of traditional misogyny and were hardly possible to express in fashion magazines. Advertising on the other hand communicated with the female consumer as an individual and presented her as a vain, sexual and emotional creature – without condemning her at the same time. Fashion advertisements emancipated, clearly not woman, but fashion itself, from the morals of domesticity.","PeriodicalId":36537,"journal":{"name":"History of Retailing and Consumption","volume":"5 1","pages":"169 - 193"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2373518X.2019.1642566","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43645430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The sample comprises a total of 785 probated items which we have been able to match with contemporary auction protocols, giving us an official sales price for each item. This enables us to determine the consistency between the appraisal values in the probates and prevailing market prices, despite the fact that the probated items were invariably second-hand and of uncertain quality, as the comparison can be made for one and the same items. Our results show that probate appraisal values were marked underestimates of contemporary market prices, but also, that they lacked internal consistency. We find a mean undervaluation for probated items of −36 ± 3 percent, but the degree of undervaluation varied both depending on (i) the category of item, (ii) the year of the probate, as well as depending on (iii) the social class of the deceased. Our results apply, first and foremost, for the Swedish counties of Uppland and Södermanland, but as there is no reason to assume that Swedish probate proceedings exhibited significant regional variation, our results are most likely valid for the whole country.","PeriodicalId":36537,"journal":{"name":"History of Retailing and Consumption","volume":"5 1","pages":"110 - 87"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2373518X.2019.1600295","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45365654","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The supermarket revolution in the United States, beginning in the 1930s, introduced both new opportunities and new challenges. As American supermarkets grew bigger, they cut losses in some areas, but also saw increasing waste. Operators had to deal with concerns about consumers handling produce, higher aesthetic standards that led stores to discard more edible produce, overstocking, and more trimming with the rise of prepackaging. The growing piles of garbage that the new large supermarkets produced were directed toward one of the methods of disposal that was gaining ground in mid-twentieth century America. Public works and public health officials championed sanitary landfills, hog feeding operations, garbage grinders, and incineration, despite all of the potential costs associated with each method. Heightened awareness of the environmental and public health costs of water and air pollution led citizens and leaders to push back against these disposal systems, often displacing them onto marginalised communities.","PeriodicalId":36537,"journal":{"name":"History of Retailing and Consumption","volume":"5 1","pages":"71 - 86"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2373518X.2019.1589860","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43319917","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This article explores that history by examining the passage of the Humane Methods of Slaughter Act of 1958. Though not a major bill, it enshrined animals’ right to die without pain and marked a triumph of animal welfare groups’ political activism. By exploring the fight between proponents and opponents of humane slaughter, the nature of consumer politics in the 1950s comes into focus. Consumers fought to force the meat commodity chain to reflect their values as Americans who saw themselves as the most modern and moral nation in the world. Opponents tried to block a mandatory humane slaughter law. Ultimately, proponents succeeded because they framed humane slaughter as an issue of consumer morality. Consumers used the political system to remake a portion of the food economy in order to make food production and retail systems reflect their values.","PeriodicalId":36537,"journal":{"name":"History of Retailing and Consumption","volume":"5 1","pages":"28 - 8"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/2373518X.2019.1589857","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45757079","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
