Crosbie's Marmalade Ad, 1950

Today, I learned that the real Nell Gwyn was one of the first women in England who could legally work in the theater as an actress. Before that, she peddled oranges to people who came to watch the plays. (Also, a whole lot of stuff not suitable for an all-ages photostream.) Thank you, Internets!
