1. Title: "A Pride of Royal Households: Chivers Carpet Soap - The Sixpence Ball for Impeccable Carpet Cleaning" This Edwardian-era poster advertises Chivers Carpet Soap, a prized cleaning solution that once graced the carpets of esteemed royal households. The sixpence ball, depicted in the image, was a testament to the affordability and effectiveness of this exceptional product. The poster showcases a standing woman in an elegant white dress, her hands delicately holding a Chivers Carpet Soap ball. A housemaid in black uniform, kneeling before her, uses a carpet brush to demonstrate the soap's capabilities. The green background, adorned with intricate floral patterns, adds a touch of elegance and refinement to the scene. The women, dressed in their respective uniforms, represent the class divide that was common during the early 20th century. The housemaid, in her black uniform, symbolizes the hardworking servant class, while the woman in white represents the upper class, who could afford the luxury of having their carpets cleaned with Chivers Carpet Soap. The poster's design exudes a sense of pride and prestige, with the tagline "Prized in Royal Households" emphasizing the product's high standing in society. The sixpence ball, priced at 6d, was an affordable luxury for many households, making Chivers Carpet Soap an essential addition to their cleaning arsenal. The poster's intricate details, from the women's uniforms to the delicate floral patterns, transport us back to a time when cleaning was an art form, and Chivers Carpet Soap was the secret ingredient to maintaining impeccable carpets.
