About the Item

This circa 1900 original poster, created for Parfumerie Colgate, is a striking example of early 20th-century advertising that blends artistic charm with commercial appeal. Designed in an era when product quality was a major selling point, this poster promotes Colgate's shaving soap, emphasizing its gentle formula that does not dry out the skin. The illustration features a young woman, elegantly dressed in period attire, presenting a handful of lather. Her warm smile and inviting gesture create an engaging, human-centered approach to advertising, drawing viewers in with a sense of trust and quality. The soft color palette and simple yet effective composition reflect the Art Nouveau influence, which was dominant in commercial design during this time. The prominent placement of the Colgate name and the detailed product boxes in the corners suggest early brand marketing strategies still recognizable today. By using both visual appeal and strong textual reinforcement, this poster exemplifies the elegant and persuasive advertising methods of the Belle Époque. Today, this rare and beautifully designed advertisement serves as a collectible piece of Colgate’s rich history, offering a glimpse into the evolution of branding, consumer culture, and product marketing at the turn of the 20th century.
