EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from 1898 showcases an advertisement for Brookes Monkey Brand Soap. The print, created by the American School in the 19th century, is a testament to the creativity of early advertising. Brookes Monkey Brand Soap was a popular cleaning product sold by Sidney and Henry Gross of Philadelphia, USA. In 1899, the British Lever Brothers acquired the company. This particular soap was known as a scouring soap that could effectively clean kitchen tables, floors, linoleum, oilcloths, and even china. The intriguing slogan "Good for China! Wei-Hai-Wei!!!" adds an exotic touch to this vintage advert. It highlights how versatile Monkey Brand Soap was in its ability to clean various surfaces including delicate china. The image features a dancing monkey dressed in traditional Chinese attire—a playful representation of the brand's effectiveness on all types of dirt and grime. This historical piece not only captures the essence of Victorian-era advertising but also provides insight into early cleaning products used during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how far we have come in terms of household cleanliness and commercial branding.
