EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an amusing advertisement for Brookes Monkey Brand soap. The image depicts a lively scene where monkeys are dressed in suits and jackets, engaging in various activities during Christmas time. In the foreground, we see two mischievous monkeys sledging down a snowy hill on tiny sledges, their faces filled with glee. Behind them, another monkey is seen gracefully gliding on ice skates while holding onto a bar of Brookes Monkey Brand soap. This cleverly suggests that using this soap will make your bicycle look as good as new. The humor in this advertisement is undeniable - who would have thought that monkeys could be such effective salesmen? Their playful antics bring joy to the viewer's eyes and create a memorable visual experience. Published in The Graphic Christmas Number of 1896, this enchanting print captures the essence of Victorian advertising techniques. It reminds us of a time when advertisements were not only informative but also entertaining. With its intricate details and nostalgic charm, this vintage engraving serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact. It transports us back to an era when creativity knew no bounds and showcases how even everyday products like soap could be marketed with wit and imagination. © Look and Learn has preserved this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its beauty for years to come.
