EDITORS COMMENTS
This image, titled 'Hudson's Extract of Soap' hails from the pages of 'The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper,' published in Britain during the late 19th century, specifically in the July to December edition of 1891. The photograph, a striking example of engraving, showcases a policeman standing at attention, his torch held aloft, casting an ethereal glow on a sign bearing the Hudson's Extract of Soap logo. The policeman, embodying the law and order of the Victorian era, serves as a symbol of cleanliness and hygiene, emphasizing the importance of Hudson's Soap in maintaining a healthy and shining community. The notice, with its bold, white text against the black background, reads, "Hudson's Extract of Soap - The only soap guaranteed to cleanse the skin without drying it." The image serves as a poignant reminder of the past, transporting us back to a time when soap advertisements were as much a part of daily life as the soap itself. The unknown artist's skillful use of contrast and composition adds to the allure of this print, making it a must-have for any collector of historical advertisements or Victorian-era memorabilia.
