1887 Advertising Blood Cuticura Medicinal Patent Medicine Skin Typeface

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the late 19th century, specifically to the year 1887 in America. It showcases an American magazine advertisement for Cuticura skin beautifiers and blood purifiers, a popular patent medicine of that era. The ad features a beautifully illustrated drawing that captures the attention with its intricate details. In this vintage advertisement, we see two distinguished men with well-groomed beards and mustaches, representing the target audience for this product. They exude confidence and sophistication as they endorse Cuticura's skin-enhancing properties. The typography used in this ad is elegant yet bold, emphasizing key selling points such as "skin beautifiers" and "blood purifiers". This choice of typeface adds a touch of professionalism to the overall design. As we delve into this historical artifact, it becomes evident that Cuticura was not just any ordinary skincare brand; it held medicinal qualities too. The mention of blood purification suggests that consumers believed in its ability to cleanse their bodies from impurities. Through this print from The Granger Collection based in New York City, we are transported back in time to witness how advertising strategies have evolved over centuries. It serves as a reminder of our fascination with beauty standards throughout history and how companies capitalized on these ideals through innovative marketing techniques like those seen here with Cuticura skin beautifiers and blood purifiers.
