EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this advertisement for Freeman's Turtlekon Soup from 1919. The image showcases a steaming hot cup of the savory soup, with each cube, ample for one person, tantalizingly visible. The text assures us that each cube provides all the rich nourishment and comparable flavor of the meat of finest West Indian turtles in a highly concentrated form. The use of the word "epicure" speaks to the sophisticated palate this soup was intended for. The advertisement invites us to imagine the process of preparing the soup, with the instruction to "pour boiling water over a cup of Turtlekon" and wait for the cubes to dissolve, creating a delicious and satisfying meal. The West Indian connection adds an exotic touch, transporting us to far-off lands and sunny climes. This advertisement is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the marketing language and visual style of the early 20th century.
