5 Antique Soap Advertising Sunlight, Lux, Powder Monkey
These five advertising pieces from English Soap makers are similar to trading cards, only on lighter paper, and larger, being about 4 x 7 and 4 1/2 x 6 1/2 inches. Of the three from Sunlight, one promotes its ease of use, another shows a child bringing a box home, and one portrays its gentleness by showing a baby holding it. One is from Powder Monkey, and it has an unusual image of a bearded monkey in a tuxedo. The other is from Lux, and it also has an interesting image, featuring a baby wearing a shirt that's shrunk in the wash. The reverse sides lists the benefits of the products. The pieces are in excellent condition, in bright fresh colors, with some wear to a couple, including the red border on the left side. All date from around the early 1900's. * Sunlight Soap in England was famous for creating a model village for its employees. All these here are wonderful period soap advertising.
