A little girl dreams that fairies bring her a Jell-O dessert for her birthday.
From the April 1919 Woman's Home Companion, this full-color Jell-O advertisement from The Genesee Pure Food Company of LeRoy, New York is illustrated by Norman Price — a whimsical, enchanting scene of a child asleep, dreaming of fairies delivering an elaborate gelatin dessert for her party. The tagline "Dreams Come True" is pure magic. The reverse carries the companion Libby's Mustard & Mayonnaise advertisement, completing a beautiful double-sided snapshot of 1919 American food culture. Note: borders trimmed close to the image; pencil date notation on the reverse.
A fairy-tale piece for a nursery, kitchen, or vintage gallery wall. An enchanting gift for Jell-O collectors, food ephemera enthusiasts, or lovers of early 20th-century children's illustration.
