SOURCE: Purchased from eBay A beautiful vintage bookmark published by Feltoe & Smith Ltd, one of the makers of lime juice cordial in Victorian London. Feltoe's Lime Juice Cordial. As recommended by the Lancet, the British Medical Journal and the Bishop of London, (Dr. Temple). [Bishop of London 1885-1896]. The bookmark shows an actor from the Commedia dell Árte on stage, hoisting a glass of lime juice cordial. The reverse of the bookmark is a lengthy eulogy about the "unrivalled" product, its properties and benefits. It is good to know that this lime juice had "no musty flavour so common in manufactured Lime Juice". Wonder what their competitors, eg., the more famous Rose's Lime Juice, thought about that assertion! |
