Almidon "Bisbal."
A chic housewife demonstrates the benefits of Bisbal starch, which is here denoted as "the best for ironing." Antoni Utrillo was a celebrated Spanish posterist; he also founded and directed the Utrillo & Rialp printing firm, which produced work for clients including Ramón Casas, Alejandro de Riquer, and Els Quatre Gats. Antoni is not to be confused with his cousin, Miguel Utrillo, a prominent engineer, painter, and artistic director.
