Few advertising cards from the period name the model, which makes this one unusual: the piece promotes Marchand's Golden Hair Wash and features a Miss Patricia Watson as its face. Patent hair preparations of the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries leaned heavily on attractive young women to suggest results, and many promised to lighten, brighten or restore color. Pairing a named woman with the product lent it a personal, trustworthy air. Such cards were often kept as collectibles or tucked into albums, so the image also shows how beauty marketing used portraiture to sell an everyday toiletry.
