Description
Vintage painting of five mermaids and a sinking schooner, which is an antique ad for "Ayer's Hair Vigor for the Toilel" which claims that it "restores gray hair to its natural vitality and color". The original ad is also available however I have removed the text in this version.
Four of the mermaids are gathered together by some palm trees on an island, brushing their hair, while the fifth mermaid is swimming out to the sinking ship.
This illustration was originally done for J.C. Ayer & Company out of Lowell, Massachusetts, for Ayer's Hair Vigor, a tonic that was used on gray hair.
