Jewsbury & Brown's Oriental Tooth Paste was a Manchester firm's product, and its advertisement draws on the "Oriental" name, which Victorian makers used to suggest exotic luxury and foreign refinement. Toothpastes and tooth powders were sold in small pots and boxes, and makers relied heavily on printed advertising to persuade buyers that a daily brushing habit mattered. Such advertisements show how commercial claims about cleanliness and beauty were made to ordinary households in nineteenth-century Britain, and they also reveal the orientalist imagery that shaped how Western consumers pictured faraway places.
