For many years, Pears soap (England) featured a painting of a child blowing
bubbles in its annual almanac (a different one each year) -- we had one
edition at home when I was a child (I'm sure they don't produce them
anymore) -- Does anyone know where the Pears archive might be?

Subject: Query: Bubbles in Art/Literature?


>Dear Colleagues,

>I've looked through our meager resources including several dictionaries of

>I'm hoping that someone out there with, perhaps, ICONOCLASS or some other

>Please contact me off the list.
