Odol was a German-made mouthwash and toothpaste brand that became one of the best-known oral hygiene products in Europe in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and this picture shows the company's message being put to work in France, where its advertising often leaned on bold color and a simple promise of fresh breath. The sign-like card held up by hand turns a routine household purchase into a small piece of commercial design, reminding viewers that the modern bathroom shelf was built partly through posters and printed ads like this one. Pictures of everyday goods such as this one are useful to historians because they show how manufacturers pitched hygiene to ordinary households during a period of rapid growth in mass-market products.
