Antique early-20th Century Pears Soap chromolithograph poster advert.
$45
SHIPPING OFFERED
Offered for sale is this antique early 20th Century English late-Edwardian era ‘Pears Soap’ chromolithograph promotional poster, dating from 1913 (when published (as one of three) in their Christmas Annual series). Taken from an original oil painting, ‘Pets’ by English artist George Sheridan Knowles. Knowles became famous for his highly-detailed, slightly-sentimental historical and genre scene works - which were often subsequently used in advertising (especially in the late-Victorian/Edwardian eras). Pears Soap produced many high-quality advertising posters from the 1880’s to 1920’s.
The scene depicts two young girls enjoying the company of their pet white rabbits. A charming and bucolic moment, reflective of the strong social messages regarding childhood (innocence, purity, etc) prevalent at the time.
A happy work for any home or business.
In very good original condition, has been mounted on board (found when was removed for inspection). The colours remain bright and as intense as when new. At some point a previous owner has cut down the work to fit in a smaller frame (estimated to have been done in the 1970’s). There is some patination (very small loses, small creases) but importantly no staining. The price takes this into account.
Measures 49cm (h) x 38cm (w) approximately.
Please check the photos as they form part of the item description.
Cash or direct deposit sale only. Can freight at buyers expense (must include insurance for damage or loss) or can personally deliver to Macedon Ranges, Melbourne, Geelong or Ballarat CBD’s for a fee. Where possible (or upon request) a physical inspection is available and always encouraged. Accurate as possible description at time of listing, however like any secondhand item is sold without guarantee or return so please ask any questions before purchase - as any sale is final.
