This original 1900 advertisement from The Illustrated London News captures the confidence of Edwardian-era marketing for personal care products. Illustrated with a finely detailed portrait of a woman holding a toothbrush, the advert exudes charm and refinement while promoting modern standards of hygiene and beauty.

The product, Floriline Liquid Dentifrice, was described as the “best liquid dentifrice in the world,” claimed to prevent tooth decay, whiten teeth, and freshen breath. Its ingredients — honey and herbal extracts — were highlighted to assure readers of its harmlessness and pleasant taste. With its bold typography and promises of health and confidence, this piece is a vivid example of turn-of-the-century consumer advertising in Britain.

Such adverts not only reflect evolving attitudes to personal care, but also reveal how health and beauty were marketed to an aspirational readership. Today, this fragment of ephemera offers collectors and researchers a tangible connection to Edwardian advertising, medicine, and social history, making it a valuable item for preservation and study.
