The toddler in the wash-basin is holding a soap shaped like a lemon. Beatrice Mallet (1896 to 1951) was an English illustrator working in Paris. She worked for Galeries Lafayette, Petit Bateau and Lion Noir shoe polish, among others. Salomon soaps were among her poster clients.
On the poster
A round-cheeked toddler stands in a white wash-basin holding a lemon-shaped yellow soap bar. To the right, an open product box shows six individually wrapped bars of Citron Salomon lemon juice soap. The ground is a saturated cobalt-blue. "CITRON SALOMON" runs across the top in large cream slab-serif type, and the claim "BLANCHIT, ADOUCIT, RAFRAICHIT" [Whitens, softens, refreshes] sits in the middle of the sheet.
