1880 1880s Baking Beating Crown Spanking Switch Vintage Whipping Baking Powder
EDITORS COMMENTS
AD: BAKING, c1880. A captivating glimpse into the world of vintage advertisements, this lithograph print showcases an intriguing rivalry between two baking powder brands - Patapsco and Crown. The central focus of the image is a young boy who finds himself at the center of a playful yet fierce competition. Representing rival brand Crown baking powder, he becomes the subject of a mischievous beating with a switch by an unseen hand. The illustration beautifully captures the late 19th-century American aesthetic, with its intricate details and vibrant colors. It serves as a testament to the creativity and artistry employed in advertising during that era. This unique piece offers us insight into historical marketing strategies while also sparking curiosity about how these brands sought to differentiate themselves from one another. The use of such unconventional methods like depicting violence against children may seem shocking today but was not uncommon for that time period. As we admire this vintage lithograph print, let us appreciate it as both an artistic representation and a window into our past – reminding us how far we have come in terms of ethical advertising practices.
