Sapho Détersif
C. Morino AndreiniItalian, active c. 1910
The upper part of this poster advertises Sapho, a dental powder; the lower portion is for Détersif, a French cleansing powder, which promises to whiten and rejuvenate the skin. Both illustrations are contained within an Art Nouveau decorative border, with appropriate typefaces incorporated into the overall design.
It is rare for a poster to advertise two products on a single sheet, but there are no indications that the sections were to be separated. In this unusual example, the products do bear a slight relationship to one another, both being whiteners.
