EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the late 19th century showcases an American merchant trade card for Dr. Mettaurs headache pills, a popular patent medicine of its time. The lithograph depicts a cozy bedroom scene with various elements that capture the essence of this era. In the center, we see a comfortable bed adorned with a soft blanket and pillows, inviting us to imagine the relief these pills could bring after a long day's work. A charming baby rests peacefully in a crib nearby, symbolizing the promise of tranquility and restful sleep that Dr. Mettaurs' remedy offers. Seated on an elegant chair is an attentive pet dog, perhaps representing loyalty and companionship – qualities desired by those seeking relief from their headaches. An advertisement featuring bold typeface prominently displays the product name while emphasizing its efficacy as a solution for pain relief. The attention to detail extends to other objects within the image: a basin and pitcher suggest cleanliness and hygiene associated with good health practices during this period. Overall, this trade card serves as both an artistic piece and promotional material for Dr. Mettaurs headache pills. It provides us with insight into advertising strategies employed by American merchants in the late 1800s while offering glimpses into domestic life at that time.
