The printed advertisement for Eau de Suez dentifrice places a camel rider at its center, a choice that signals travel and the exotic rather than anything about the tooth powder itself. Advertisers of the late 1800s often drew on Egyptian and Near Eastern scenes, and the opening of the Suez Canal in 1869 kept the region in the European public eye. Such images sold products by association, promising that a familiar household item carried a touch of faraway glamour. Today the picture is useful for seeing how commercial art borrowed imagery from abroad to market everyday health and grooming products.
