Curator’s notes
This black-and-white Rinso soap powder advertisement illustrates the traditional role of men and particularly women in Australia during the 1930s when women were traditionally homemakers and men the providers.
Cinema advertisements of the 1920s and 30s often took a narrative form, presenting viewers with a problem and solving it by using the featured product.
