- Jules Hauel's eau lustral hair restorative For the restoration, growth, beauty and preservation of the hair
- Description
- Advertisement for the Philadelphia perfumer at 120, i.e., 324 Chestnut Street. Shows two well-dressed women in a boudoir that is decorated with carpet, drapes, and a candlelabra. One woman combs her long, lush, flowing hair with her back to a nightstand with a mirror as she looks at the second woman with short wispy hair. Perfume bottles rest on the night stand. Also contains an ornamental border including columns and advertising text. Text promotes the stopping of "decay in the middle of decline, to preserve what is beautiful" through use of Haul's "Hair Restorative" that "stops the falling off of Hair, promotes the growth of it, vivifies the roots and the skin and gives a new vigor to hair." Hauel began his perfumery business in Philadelphia in 1839 by selling vegetable hair dyes and fancy soaps., Not in Wainwright., Philadelphia on Stone, POSP 127, Historical Society of Pennsylvania: Bb 392 W 363, Trimmed.
