EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage trade card showcases the iconic Hills Hair & Whisker Dye, hailed as the "Best Ever Invented" by its proprietor C. N. Crittenton in New York. The vibrant color lithograph print, created by an anonymous 19th-century American artist, is now part of the esteemed collection at the New-York Historical Society. The image features a distinguished gentleman with a well-groomed beard and impeccably styled hair, exemplifying the transformative power of this remarkable product. With his confident gaze reflected in a small mirror held delicately in his hand, he exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The advertisement evokes a sense of nostalgia for a time when personal grooming was considered an art form. It speaks to an era where men took pride in their appearance and sought out only the finest beauty products to enhance their natural features. Intriguingly, on the verso side of this trade card lies a list detailing additional preparations available through C. N. Crittenton's establishment in New York City. This suggests that Hills Hair & Whisker Dye was just one among many exceptional offerings from this renowned proprietor. As we admire this exquisite piece of advertising history, we are transported back to an age when self-care rituals were elevated to an art form – reminding us that even then, people sought out trusted brands like Hills Hair & Whisker Dye for their grooming needs.
