Cosmetics/Personal Care Products: NMAH Website

Post by BettyLouSpence »

This is the page for Cosmetics and Personal Care Products in the Medicine and Science Collections at the website for the National Museum of American History. There are write-ups of the historical context, accompanied by high res pictures of objects and posters/adverts - a real treasure trove.

Bonus: if the art from the Lucky Brown objects in the collection caught your eye, like they did mine (and the Rolling Stones), here's the page for Valmor Products Co. at the Made In Chicago Museum website.
I wish my life was a non-stop Hollywood movie show
a fantasy world of celluloid villains and heroes
Because celluloid heroes never feel any pain
and celluloid heroes never really die...
