White Rock Water is the particular draw here: an advertisement that pairs the bottled mineral water with a classical nymph, a figure borrowed from Greek myth and popular in nineteenth-century art. The White Rock brand traces back to a spring in Waukesha, Wisconsin, and became a well-known bottled water in the United States in the late 1800s, when Victorian readers were drawn to health tonics and "pure" spring water. Advertisers of that era often dressed their products in fine-art imagery to suggest refinement and wholesomeness, so the mythic figure signals that the water was meant for polite, health-minded households rather than as an ordinary beverage.
