EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning plaster plaque from 1880, advertising the renowned Savon de la Bonne Mere. Created by the French School in the 19th century, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection and offers a glimpse into the history of advertisement. The plaque depicts an intricate relief featuring the iconic image of Madonna and Child. With its emphasis on purity and cleanliness, it perfectly captures the essence of this famous soap brand. The Virgin Mary cradles baby Jesus in her arms, symbolizing not only their divine connection but also representing maternal care and protection. Manufactured in Marseille, Savon de la Bonne Mere has long been associated with exceptional quality and hygiene. This advertisement highlights these virtues through its portrayal of pureness and innocence. The attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the delicate features on Mary's face to Jesus' serene expression. As we delve into history through this remarkable photograph, we are reminded that advertisements have always played a significant role in society. They serve as windows into our past, reflecting cultural values while promoting products or services. In this case, we witness how even back in 1880s France, companies recognized the power of visual storytelling to captivate audiences. Bridgeman Images has once again captured a timeless piece that transcends time itself – reminding us that art can be found not only on canvas but also within everyday objects like plaques advertising soap brands.
