EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from The Illustrated London News takes us back to the bustling kitchens of 19th-century Britain. In this scene, a scullery maid is seen diligently attending to her domestic chores while admiring an advertisement for Brookes Monkey Brand Soap. The image showcases the concept of cleanliness and hygiene that was highly valued during the Victorian era. The woman, dressed in a pinafore and a modest dress, represents the hardworking female servants who played an essential role in maintaining households across the country. As she stands amidst kitchenware and reflects on her task at hand, it becomes evident how soap became an indispensable tool for these women. Brookes Monkey Brand Soap was renowned for its cleaning prowess, ensuring spotless clothes and pristine surroundings. The monochrome engraving beautifully captures not only the meticulousness of this profession but also highlights the social hierarchy prevalent during that time. While unseen by society's upper echelons, these dedicated individuals were crucial in upholding standards of cleanliness within homes. This print serves as a historical testament to both advertising techniques employed during the late 19th century and societal norms surrounding domestic work. It offers us a glimpse into everyday life in Victorian Britain – where hard work met with admiration from those who understood its significance.
