Face, Hands, and Neck Beauty Elixir Adverts in London Market
An 18th century advertisement page touts Face Neck and Hands preparations to whiten and smooth skin, cure redness, pimples, and wrinkles, and promises youthful fairness. It lists vendors at Radford’s Toy Shop near St Clement’s Yard, and various cures from James Pemberton, Simon Bartlett, and others, with pricing and contact details. It also notes a dog reward, spring trifles, and a watch prize, amid notices of annuities and a transport of a missing Edward Horn with a 10 pound reward.
