EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the year 1881, when an American newspaper featured an intriguing advertisement for "The Edson Electro-Magnetic Garter". This unique piece of late 19th-century advertising showcases the intersection of science and fashion in America during that era. The image portrays a text-heavy ad, filled with promises and claims. The Edson Electro-Magnetic Garter is presented as a revolutionary invention, harnessing the power of electricity to provide medicinal benefits. With its patent electric apparatus embedded within, this garter supposedly offered relief from various ailments. However, skepticism arises as we delve deeper into the context surrounding this advertisement. Dubbed as a quack or fraudulent product by some critics, it highlights the prevalence of dubious patent medicines in America at that time. The use of electromagnetism adds an air of scientific legitimacy to what may be nothing more than a clever marketing ploy. Despite any potential doubts about its effectiveness or authenticity, this advertisement serves as a fascinating snapshot into American society's fascination with innovation and progress during the late 19th century. It reminds us how easily people can be captivated by promises of new technologies and their supposed health benefits. As we gaze upon this historical artifact captured by The Granger Collection in New York, let us reflect on how far our understanding has come since then while appreciating the ingenuity behind such peculiar inventions from days gone by.
