EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant trade card from the late 19th century showcases a household cleaner called Soapine, produced by the Kendall Manufacturing Company in Providence, Rhode Island. The American trade card features a colorful illustration of an aquatic scene, emphasizing the connection between cleanliness and health. Interestingly, whale blubber was used as an ingredient in some soap products during this time period. The image captures the concept of cleanliness and hygiene through its depiction of clean water and pristine surroundings. It serves as a reminder that maintaining a clean environment is essential for good health. The job of a cleaner or housekeeper becomes evident as we see how they play a crucial role in keeping our homes free from dirt and grime. This trade card represents not only the product but also America's industrial progress during the 19th century. It reflects how companies utilized natural resources like whale blubber to create innovative cleaning solutions for households across the country. As we admire this print from Oxford Science Archive, it transports us back to a time when Soapine was widely recognized as an effective household product. This piece of history reminds us that even though times have changed, cleanliness remains vital in our daily lives.
