Hispania Simil Gamuza. ca. 1905.
The turn of the century bolstered increasing prosperity in Spain, and consumers were eager to act the part of the new bourgeoisie. Traditional homemade products were swiftly replaced by name brand goods, and the average housewife now yearned for the well-kempt aura of the upper class. Here, an overdressed woman demonstrates her finesse for chic couture and household upkeep, while a wonderful bit of visual trickery proves to us just how potent this particular cleaning product is—though the cat seems more horrified than impressed.
