EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of history - an engraved English advertisement for Pears Soap from 1889. The image transports us back to a time when advertising was an art form in itself, with intricate details and thought-provoking symbolism. In this particular advertisement, we are drawn into a world that combines elements of the late occult movement and mysticism with the concept of personal hygiene. A nude female rider on a broomstick captures our attention immediately, her hat adorned with mystical symbols suggesting her connection to witchcraft and mystic practices. However, instead of promoting dark magic or sinister intentions, she is depicted as an ethereal figure advocating for cleanliness and good hygiene. The juxtaposition between the supernatural imagery and the soap brand creates an intriguing contrast that challenges societal norms while emphasizing the importance of personal care. It reminds us that even in unconventional ways, maintaining cleanliness is essential for overall well-being. This photograph not only offers insight into historical advertising techniques but also sparks curiosity about how society viewed concepts such as femininity, mysticism, and personal care during that era. It serves as a testament to the power of visual storytelling through artistry and provokes contemplation about how advertisements have evolved over time. As we admire this unique piece from Granger Art on Demand's collection, let it transport us back to Victorian England where imagination met practicality in unexpected ways – all through the lens of Pears Soap's enchanting advertisement.
