"Sanitary: A Journey Through Time and Progress" Plate 42 showcases the elegance ware, a testament to the evolution of cleanliness in our homes. During WW1, an advertisement for Sanitas disinfecting fluid reminds us of the importance of hygiene in times of crisis. Florence Nightingale's carriage at the seat of war symbolizes her tireless efforts to improve sanitation and healthcare during challenging times. In 1965, Tampax revolutionized women's lives with their discreet and convenient menstrual products. Their advertisement marked a milestone in feminine hygiene. The legacy of Florence Nightingale lives on as she tirelessly advocated for proper sanitation practices, forever changing the face of nursing. Davis & Bennett's heavy fireclay urinal stalls advertisement highlights how even public facilities were not exempt from advancements in sanitary technology. "The Italian Major" captures a moment where personal hygiene becomes essential even amidst chaos - reminding us that cleanliness knows no boundaries. Dent and Hellyer's Advertisement introduces dental hygiene as an integral part of overall well-being - emphasizing the importance of oral health for all individuals. An advert for Tampax proudly declares that women are winning not only battles but also their fight for freedom - empowering them through innovative feminine care solutions. Lea Hurst, home to Florence Nightingale herself, serves as a reminder that great minds can emerge from humble beginnings - inspiring change on a global scale. Men braving London's sewers with oilskin protective clothing demonstrate dedication towards maintaining clean cities even under hazardous conditions (1881). From ancient sanitary ware to modern innovations like Tampax, these glimpses into history remind us that progress is built upon improving our most basic needs.
