This vibrant and captivating print showcases an intriguing advertisement for Ponds Extract, a 19th-century remedy that was highly sought after. The colour lithograph, created by the American School, is a true work of art that can now be enjoyed in this private collection. In this whimsical scene, we are transported to a laboratory where anthropomorphic animals are diligently preparing the renowned Ponds Extract. Frogs dressed in lab coats and spectacles can be seen carefully reading books on medical science and textbooks as they mix potions with precision. This clever use of anthropomorphism adds charm and intrigue to the image. The advertisement not only highlights the efficacy of Ponds Extract but also pays homage to Asklepios, the Greek god of healing. It symbolizes how this remarkable remedy has been trusted throughout history for its medicinal properties. With its bold colors and attention to detail, this print captures the essence of advertising from a bygone era. It reminds us of the importance placed on healthcare and medicine even back then.
