Description

A box of “The New Robin Starch” sits beside a wash basin while a spoonful of starch is measured above it. The headline reads: “Only 3 tablespoonfuls for the average wash.”

Robin Starch was a well-known Reckitt & Sons laundry product, used to stiffen collars, cuffs, table linen and household washing. The cost-saving dosage message fits interwar domestic advertising.

Colour lithographic or offset poster, linen-backed. The design uses a clean product demonstration, enlarged packaging and soft airbrushed shadows; condition shows buckling, minor scuffs, a small stain and lower-left repair.
