About this item

Advertisers quickly recognized photography’s potential to sell a particular product to a targeted audience. In this case, the picture promotes a brand of flour, prominently displayed at the corner of the table. The two women seem to be visiting in a kitchen at home, as they prepare food for baking. In fact, the photographer carefully posed them in his studio in front of a painted backdrop.
