EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and playful lithograph captures the essence of a bygone era, showcasing an advertisement for Pears soap. The image features a mischievous young boy with bright blue eyes, his face covered in dirt and grime. With a cheeky smile on his face, he seems to be asking the viewer, "Have you used Pears soap?". The artwork exudes cleanliness as it humorously portrays the contrast between the filthy child and the promise of pristine hygiene that Pears soap offers. It cleverly appeals to our desire for cleanliness while injecting a touch of lightheartedness. Created in the 19th century, this illustration was originally featured in The Graphic's Christmas Number in 1898. Its timeless charm continues to captivate audiences today. Through its vivid colors and attention to detail, this print showcases not only an advertisement but also serves as a window into history. It reminds us of simpler times when advertising relied on artistic illustrations rather than flashy slogans or celebrity endorsements. Whether displayed as part of a collection or hung alone on a wall, this charming print is sure to spark conversations about nostalgia, advertising techniques from yesteryears, and perhaps even memories of using Pears soap ourselves.
