EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this vintage advertisement for Anzora hair fixative, dating back to 1936. The creator of this print remains unknown, but its impact on the British colonial community in India was undeniable. As Christmas approached, Anzora presented itself as a 'Neat Idea for a Christmas Present, ' offering the perfect solution to keep heads tidy and well-groomed throughout the day. Anzora catered to various scalp types with its range of products: Cream for those dealing with greasy scalps, Viola for individuals struggling with dryness, and Brilliantine for men seeking a glossy appearance. This ad from 'The Civil and Military Gazette' Annual showcased the versatility of Anzora's offerings. The image transports us into a bathroom setting where an impeccably groomed gentleman is admiring his reflection in the mirror. With shiny hair perfectly styled using Anzora's hair cream or brilliantine, he exudes confidence and elegance. This advertisement not only highlights grooming trends of that era but also reflects aspects of British imperialism during their reign over India. It serves as a reminder of how advertising played an influential role in promoting Western ideals within different cultures. As we gaze upon this piece from our past, it sparks nostalgia while shedding light on historical beauty practices and societal norms surrounding personal grooming.
