F. Pauli's Pe-Pe - shaving cream

This original vintage Swedish advertising poster promotes F. Pauli's Pe-Pe range of men's grooming products, including rakkrème (shaving cream), raktvål (shaving soap) and hudtonicum (skin tonic).

Ferdinand Pauli established the perfume factory F. Pauli in 1867, making the company part of Sweden's early cosmetics and perfumery industry. This colourful poster advertises its Pe-Pe brand with a humorous image of an elegantly dressed man shaving, surrounded by oversized packages and bottles of the company's products.

The bold red, black and white composition, strong typography and stylized illustration make this a particularly charming example of vintage Swedish commercial advertising and an unusual piece of Scandinavian cosmetics and grooming history.

The poster retains clean, fresh colours and is in excellent condition. A highly decorative vintage advertising poster that would look wonderful framed.
