We like this thoughtful article from 1905 about the causes and cures for women’s wrinkles, and also this advertorial from 1909 about the anti-wrinkling cures discovered by Harriet Meta of Paris and London.

Although we do like our many ‘laughter lines’, we are greatly enthused by the £250 challenge issue by Mademoiselle Meta.
