Affecting everything from our eating habits to our choice of furniture, mass advertising has a great influence on our lives. Through the use of print and television advertising dating from 1889 to the present, Mirror, Mirror: An Advertiser's Scrapbook takes a nostalgic look at the history of advertising in Canada and at the same time examines how through the years it has mirrored changing social trends and values.
