EDITORS COMMENTS
This Victorian-era image, titled 'Victorian Scrap, Pears Soap - A Mother Monkey Washes Her Dirty Son,' is a charming depiction of motherly love and care, reminiscent of the 1880s. The photograph, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, showcases a mother monkey gently washing her young, soiled offspring in a bowl filled with water. The mother monkey's attentive expression and tender touch convey the deep bond between them, while her son's innocent and trusting gaze adds to the heartwarming scene. The mother monkey's humanized appearance, with her bonnet-adorned head and clothing, highlights the Victorian era's fascination with anthropomorphizing animals. This artistic representation was likely inspired by popular human-animal comparisons and the widespread use of anthropomorphism in advertising during this time. Despite the human-like qualities of the mother monkey, the scene remains grounded in reality, as the dirty and disheveled appearance of her son underscores the importance of cleanliness and the role of soap in maintaining personal hygiene. The presence of Pears Soap, a popular brand during the Victorian era, is not explicitly mentioned in the title or image, but its association with cleanliness and the bathing scene is implied. This photograph offers a unique glimpse into the Victorian era's fascination with animals, motherhood, and the role of soap in daily life. It serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring bond between mothers and their children and the universality of the desire to provide love, care, and a clean start.
