EDITORS COMMENTS
"Step back in time with this advertisement for Ch. Lalanne's hair dye from 1912. The image showcases a man looking surprised and dismayed as he discovers a grey hair on his head, a sign of aging that was once considered a taboo for men. But fear not, for Lalanne's wonderful colorant offers a solution to this unwelcome intrusion of age. The advertisement plays on the themes of vanity and beauty, appealing to both men and women who wanted to maintain a youthful appearance. The Edwardian era was a time when societal expectations placed great importance on appearances, and this advertisement reflects the prevailing attitudes of the time. The use of bold typography and vibrant colors draws attention to the product, while the image of the man's shocked expression adds an element of drama and intrigue. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the ways in which people in the early 20th century dealt with the realities of aging and the lengths they went to maintain their youthful appearance."
