EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving takes us back to the 19th century, showcasing an intriguing advertisement for Brookes Soap. The image exudes a sense of nostalgia as it transports us to a time when advertising was done through intricate illustrations rather than flashy digital displays. The focal point of the print is a mischievous monkey holding a bar of Brookes Soap, cleverly emphasizing its effectiveness in keeping things clean and fresh. Surrounding the playful primate are various scenes depicting different uses for this renowned soap brand. From washing clothes at York Road to bathing in Kings Cross, every aspect of daily life seems to be touched by the magic of Brookes Soap. The attention to detail in this engraving is truly remarkable - from the fine lines that bring out each character's expression, to the carefully crafted background elements that add depth and context. It's evident that great care was taken in creating this artwork for The Illustrated London News publication on May 12th, 1888. As we gaze upon this vintage advertisement, we can't help but appreciate how far advertising has come since then. Yet there's something undeniably charming about these simpler times when companies like Brookes Soap relied on artistic prowess and imagination to capture their audience's attention. This print serves as a delightful reminder of our past while also highlighting the timeless power of effective advertising strategies.
