Few advertisements of its era borrowed a religious image as openly as this one, which trades on the Benedictine name to sell a tooth preparation. The "Bénédictin de Soulac" was marketed in France as a dentifrice, and the monastic figure was meant to suggest old-world purity and trusted remedies. French commercial printers of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries often used bright chromolithography like this to make small household products stand out on shop walls and in illustrated magazines. Look at how the text and the image work together: the brand name carries the sales pitch, while the picture supplies the reassurance.
