Magazine ad, 1914, Shiseido

705

This is a  1914 Shiseido ad made in kyomachiya kyoto, Japan. This ad was made to evoke the Gibson Girl’s signature head tilt and upswept hairstyle (hisashigami). At this time a “Gibson Girl was an American who was known for her wit, charm, and beauty, as well as her spirited independence”. This piece is useful to graphic design and design in general because it shows the aspect of a well-made advertisement to promote a product and express an opinion at the same time about combining American and asian beauty together.
