A girl cradling a white cat gives this Pears' Soap advertisement its particular charm, and the slogan "Good Morning! Have you used Pears' Soap?" sits beside her as a direct invitation to the viewer. Pears was one of the most aggressively promoted soap brands of the late nineteenth century, and its advertising often paired wholesome children with its product to suggest cleanliness, innocence, and respectability. Posters and colored prints like this one were pasted on hoardings and printed in magazines, helping turn ordinary household soap into a familiar brand name.
