Monochrome newspaper clipping depicting a simply drawn whale outline containing a bearded man in a robe, pointed hat, and curled-toe slippers. The man is holding a cylinder in one hand and shaving his beard with the other. There is a bed and a picture frame hanging on the inside of the whale in the background. Text reads "Jonah could have made himself more comfortable inside the whale with Erasmic Shaving Stick. No man could contemplate such a situation as Jonah's with equanimity, unless he had his Erasmic with him. Erasmic is the shaving stick of strong men--men whose beards are touch and wiry. Its potent lather tackles the toughest. British--therefore best. Erasmic, Perfumers, London."
