"SOAPINE Did It!:
An Illustrated History of Kendall's 19th Century
Soap Advertising Campaign"
by Dave Cheadle / The Bill Lee Collection
Heavily illustrated (over 250 cards in Full Color)
with 19th century trade cards organized by sets.
--
Cards reproduced in full color. Soapine private designs, plus stock cards and sets organized with company and card printing history, plus year 2000 values.
An illustrated review of one of the most remarkable mass market advertising plans of 19th-century America. Here are the unforgettable images (courtesy of the renowned Bill Lee Soapine Collection) that document how in a few short years Kendall Manufacturing transformed the Soapine “scrubbed whale” logo into one of the nation’s most widely recognized trademarks.
Social historians, marketing professionals, and collectors of Victorian-era advertising will be fascinated by the story and artifacts reproduced in this book.  This book was published BEFORE the Charlotte Perkins Gilman connection was known to the authors, so no references are made to her as the designer of some of the earliest Soapine cards.  For that information, please order the back issues (Summer and Fall of 2001) of our journals, which fully explain her role in the Soapine card design history.
32 pages, 8.5 x 11 inches, softbound.
See my other store listings for additional trade card related reference books and
"Advertising Trade Card Quarterly" back issues (high quality journals) of possible interest.
