Elizabeth Arden's 1937 advertisement for its Coronation line pairs a fashion illustration with product copy, a format that was becoming standard in women's magazines of the period. The cosmetics house, founded in New York in 1910 by Florence Nightingale Graham, built its reputation on glamour and on the idea that a polished look was a matter of daily routine. Look closely at the illustrated figure's styling, with its defined brows and carefully set hair, to see how the drawing sold both the product and a particular ideal of modern femininity.
