EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a fascinating glimpse into the late 19th-century American domestic industry. The trade card for Kendall Manufacturing Company, based in Providence, Rhode Island, USA, features their renowned Soapine household cleaner. A product ahead of its time, Soapine was one of the pioneering soap products that utilized whale blubber as a key ingredient. The image invites us to reflect on the intricate relationship between conservation and manufacturing during this era. As we marvel at the ingenuity behind using whale blubber in soap production, it also reminds us of the environmental impact caused by fishing these majestic creatures. This photograph serves as a visual testament to an important chapter in both American history and hygiene practices. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this trade card captures our attention and transports us back to a time when chemical advancements were revolutionizing household cleaning products. It is not just a simple advertisement; it represents an entire industry's dedication to innovation and improvement. As we admire this piece from Universal Images Group (UIG), let us appreciate how far we have come since then while acknowledging the lessons learned about sustainability and responsible manufacturing practices.
