EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from 1916 showcases the toothpaste of the "Poilus", French soldiers during World War I. The advertisement for Gelle Freres toothpaste, featured in Le Rire Rouge magazine, highlights the importance of dental hygiene even amidst the chaos of war.
The image captures a soldier flashing a bright smile, emphasizing the significance of maintaining oral health even in challenging circumstances. In a time when personal care may have been overlooked due to the demands of battle, this advert serves as a reminder that self-care is essential for overall well-being.
The intricate details and vibrant colors in this illustration bring to life a piece of history that sheds light on the everyday experiences of soldiers during World War I. It offers a glimpse into how companies like Gelle Freres sought to support and uplift troops through products that promoted good hygiene practices.
As we reflect on this historical artifact, we are reminded of the resilience and resourcefulness exhibited by individuals facing adversity. The toothpaste of the "Poilus" serves as a symbol not only of oral health but also of perseverance and dedication to self-care in times of hardship.
