Lewis's Purewhite Cosy Sheets advertisement is set apart by its whimsical pairing of a sleeping baby with a band of elves, a fanciful choice for a bedding product. Advertisements of this kind, common in illustrated magazines and newspapers in the early twentieth century, used sentimental scenes of childhood to suggest comfort, warmth and care in the home. Household goods such as bed linens were often marketed through images of domestic reassurance, and fairy-tale motifs like elves were a popular way to make a plain product feel magical. Looking closely, the image shows how advertisers linked everyday household purchases to the tender side of family life.
