About This Item
Buffalo, NY: Clay & Co, 1880. Edges appeared trimmed. 3/4" intact tear at base (minimal detraction). A 10 1/2" x 8 3/4" printer's proof (note printer's marks top and bottom). It depicts a woman dressed in a gossamer top exposing the detail of her upper torso carrying a 60 pound case of laundry detergent with a washboard and tub at her side. It appears she has selected this particular brand over the others. Her appearance is that of being content with her activity.
Aside form the imagery the color is exceptionally vibrant. What bare breasts has to do with laundry detergent escapes me except for blatant exploitation. |Smith & Fowler's Pride of the Laundry, Based in Baltimore MD.
