Pears' soap ran a long series of New Year's Greeting advertisements, and this 1902 example, numbered 113th, shows how far the campaign had stretched by the turn of the century. The firm traced its origins to a London soap maker of the late 1700s and relied on eye-catching illustrations to link its name with cleanliness and refinement. Pieces like this show how Edwardian advertisers sold soap as a mark of good taste, and they remain a useful record of the period's commercial art.
