EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image transports us back to the early 20th century, specifically the year 1918, during a time when the world was in the midst of the First World War. Amidst the chaos and hardships of the war, the pursuit of beauty and personal grooming remained an essential part of daily life for many women. In this advertisement for Erasmic soap, a popular brand during the first half of the 20th century, we see a pretty young woman with flaming red hair taking a moment for herself at her dressing table. She gazes intently into a hand mirror, her reflection captured in the glass as she contemplates her appearance. The elegance and grace of the scene are further emphasized by the delicate lace tablecloth and the ornate, gilded mirror frame. The woman's fashionable attire, including a high-necked blouse and a flowing skirt, reflects the style of the era. Her hair, styled in loose waves, cascades down her back, adding to her feminine allure. The Erasmic soap, prominently displayed on the table, is a reminder of the importance of cleanliness and personal hygiene in maintaining one's beauty. This advertisement not only showcases the beauty and elegance of the time but also highlights the resilience and determination of women to maintain a sense of normalcy and self-care amidst the challenges of the war. The image remains a captivating reminder of the enduring power of beauty and the importance of self-care, even in the most trying of times.
