Title: Clean my Mum please
Post by: Bizzylizzy on Monday 13 April 09 18:05 BST (UK)

Hello again everyone

Would it be possible to give my Mum a good clean, the photo was taken around 1926 by a S.G.Lamb of either Yorks or Lancs for a soap advert but she can not remember which one.
Any help with the details would be gratefully accepted
Thank you
Liz

I would say the chances are that it was for Pears Soap

Have a look at  this example  (https://antiquehelper.com/item/317355) of "Victorian Child Portrait Pears Soap After Munier"

hi Guys

Corisande,
 Mum don't think it was pears she seems to remember it being a soap with 2 names, ? and ?, and being much younger than I sound I know nothing about soap companies of the 1920s but an interesting little find Thanks.
Hippy,
I agree with Annette, beautiful restore Thank you.
Carol,
Thank you, it is a nice photo which is why we would like to find out more about it.
Mum's now 84 and her memory is not what it used to be, in fact it's hardly a memory at all

Thank you all

Liz

Hi BizzyLizzy..........A delightful photo of your mum I must say, she must have been very patient to sit in that pose while the photo was taken.

Hi Carolyn
Lovely restore thank you very much, I never thought about her patience then, but you are right she must have been well behaved then, how things change in 80 odd years.
Thank you very much

Liz
