1910 Chromolitho Soap Box Ad Label - Queen Beauty - Victorian Lady - Gibson Girl

Here's a really fantastic 1910 Chromolitho Soap Box Label in pristine condition. This is not a reproduction, but an original label that was once used to cover an expensive box of soaps for the Victorian lady. This is a fine representation of artwork and craftsmanship created at that time. The colors are very vivid, as well as, the details of this fine antique advertisement. The label has raised embossed patterns on the antiqued gold trim. This was obtained as "Old - New Stock" advertising print that had been stored away long after they went out of business.

Label states: Queen Beauty, Toilet Soap, Dr. J.B. Lynas & Son, Logansport, Indiana. This label would look wonderful in a vintage frame on a lady’s dressing room washstand.

The following information was derived from Powell’s History of Cass County Indiana (1913) and the Logansport, Indiana city directory for 19-21-2.
