EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in advertising history - Pears Soap's iconic advertisement at Holloway Road, London, England. Taken by an English photographer in the 19th century, this image showcases the power of visual communication during that time. The photograph depicts a bustling street scene with the Pears Soap advertisement prominently displayed on a building. The illustration from The British Printer (Raithby, Lawrence & Co Ltd, London, 1893) features a charming depiction of children using Pears Soap to clean themselves. This nostalgic image evokes feelings of innocence and purity. In this snapshot of late nineteenth-century London life, we see women and children passing by the advertisement. Their presence adds depth to the composition and highlights how soap was an essential part of daily hygiene for people from all walks of life. The significance of this image extends beyond its artistic value; it provides us with insights into social history as well. It reminds us that even back then, cleanliness was highly valued and sought after. Moreover, it serves as a reminder of how advertisements have been shaping our society for centuries. Preserved in private collection but made available through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder platform, this print allows us to travel back in time and witness an era when simple soap advertisements could capture hearts and minds on busy city streets like Holloway Road.
