This print from 1952 showcases a vibrant and nostalgic nylon comb advert by DuPont. The advertisement, featured in the August-September issue of the renowned DuPont Magazine, highlights their innovative nylon combs and toothbrushes. Established in 1913, DuPont had grown into one of the world's largest chemical companies by the 1930s, with a strong focus on materials science. Nylon, a groundbreaking material discovered by DuPont in 1935, revolutionized various industries including hair care and fashion. This advert reflects the era's American style and culture while emphasizing the brand's commitment to quality and innovation. The illustration depicts an elegant Caucasian woman with a radiant smile confidently styling her hair using one of these modern combs. The artwork not only captures a moment in history but also symbolizes progress and consumerism during that time period. It serves as a reminder of how household items like combs played an essential role in people's daily lives. Additionally, this image commemorates DuPont's remarkable milestone - their 150th anniversary is noted at the lower right corner. Preserved by HAGLEY ARCHIVE / SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, this print offers us a glimpse into mid-20th-century America where industry thrived alongside advancements in chemistry and materials science. It stands as both an artifact of advertising history and an ode to human ingenuity that continues to shape our lives today.
