Description
A softly rendered portrait of a fashionable young woman forms the centrepiece of this Vinolia toiletries advertisement. Above, the Portuguese slogan “Quem diz Vinolia diz Belleza Feminina” links the brand directly with feminine beauty. The decorative panel below lists the range in English: bath and toilet soaps, complexion powders, face creams, brilliantines and hair lotions, dentifrices, Lypsyl and perfumes.
The restrained olive, cream and pale blue palette, formal typography and idealised portraiture give the design an elegant early twentieth-century character. Its compact format and beauty theme make it an appealing piece of historic cosmetics advertising.
