EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage lithograph from 1895 showcases an American advertisement for Lorings Fat-Ten-U and Corpula Foods, two patent medicines of the late 19th century. The illustration features a captivating woman winking at the viewer, enticing them to discover the secret behind her alluring figure. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this print transports us back to the turn of the century when such products were in high demand. During this era, patent medicines promised miraculous results without disclosing their ingredients or potential side effects. Lorings Fat-Ten-U and Corpula Foods capitalized on society's obsession with beauty standards by offering a solution for those seeking weight gain or improved nutrition. This ad cleverly combines text and imagery to convey a sense of allure and mystery surrounding these products. The lithograph serves as a fascinating glimpse into advertising practices of yesteryears, where exaggerated claims were made to captivate consumers' attention. It reminds us of how far we have come in terms of transparency and regulation within the pharmaceutical industry. As we admire this piece of history captured by Granger Art on Demand, let it serve as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving even in seemingly innocent advertisements like these.
