EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the Victorian era with this advertisement for Salt Regal, a high-class antiseptic salt from the year 1889. The elegant design showcases a servant, dressed in traditional Indian attire, holding a bottle of the salt, which was dispensed as a white powder. Once mixed with water, the salt would transform into a pink solution, promising to cleanse the mouth, clear the throat, and sweeten the breath. The Salt Regal advertisement showcases the inventive spirit of the 1880s, a time when new discoveries and innovations were shaping the world. The salt, marketed as an antiseptic, was likely seen as a luxury item for the upper class during the hot weather. The use of the servant to promote the product adds an intriguing layer to the image, suggesting a connection to colonialism and the global trade of goods. The advertisement's text is not present in the image, but it would have likely emphasized the hygienic properties of the salt, making it a must-have for maintaining good health and fresh breath. The Salt Regal advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the marketing tactics and consumer culture of the late 19th century.
