EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, dated circa 1865, showcases the impressive range of bath soaps manufactured by McKeone, Van Haagen & Co. based in Philadelphia and New York. The image, produced by an unknown photographer, offers a glimpse into the company's extensive product line during the Victorian era. The soaps, artfully arranged on a wooden table, are displayed against a backdrop of intricately patterned wallpaper and a delicate lace tablecloth. Each soap is individually wrapped in colorful paper, revealing its unique shape and scent. Some soaps are molded into intriguing designs, such as flowers, fruits, and geometric shapes, while others are more simple in form. McKeone, Van Haagen & Co. was a leading soap manufacturer during the mid-19th century, known for its high-quality products and innovative marketing strategies. The company's success can be attributed to its ability to cater to the growing demand for personal hygiene products during this time. With the rise of urbanization and the increasing awareness of the importance of cleanliness, soap-making became a burgeoning industry. This print not only serves as a testament to the company's production capabilities but also highlights the aesthetic appeal of its products. The intricate designs and vibrant colors of the soaps would have attracted potential customers and reinforced the notion that owning these luxurious items was a sign of sophistication and good taste. As we admire this print, we are transported back in time to an era when soap-making was an art form, and McKeone, Van Haagen & Co. was at the forefront of this creative and commercial endeavor.
