"Savon: A Journey Through Time and Art" Step into the world of Savon, a humble soap that has left its mark throughout history. From vintage posters to postcards inspired by renowned artists, this collection showcases the diverse allure of Savon. The poster advertising Le Savon Dirtoff catches your eye with its bold colors and captivating design. Promising to bleach everything it touches, this soap guarantees a spotless outcome. It's no wonder why people were drawn to such an innovative product in the 19th century. In "La Pardrix" by Edouard Bernard, we witness another soap's claim to fame. This advertisement from the same era entices viewers with promises of cleanliness and purity. The delicate artwork transports us back in time when bathing rituals were celebrated as essential acts of self-care. Education takes center stage in "The first pipe, " a charming postcard featuring a child playing with soap balls. Inspired by Beatrice Mallet's work, this image captures innocence and joy while subtly reminding us of the importance of hygiene even in playtime. Berchmans' late 19th-century illustration depicts a mother diligently using Sunlight soap for her child's toilet and laundry needs. The extended care she provides reflects the dedication mothers have shown throughout generations when it comes to their children's well-being. A reproduction of a vibrant poster advertising Starlight Soap from 1899 reminds us that cleanliness was not just practical but also fashionable during that time period. Its colorful lithography draws attention as it promises radiant results for those who choose this particular brand. "Bubbles" painted on canvas in 1886 portrays simple yet mesmerizing beauty created through soapy spheres floating effortlessly through space. This timeless piece serves as a reminder that sometimes even mundane objects like bubbles can captivate our imagination. Traveling further back in time, illustrations from A French Alphabet Book published in 1814 showcase how even then, soap played a significant role in daily life.
