Description

An advertisement for Claxton's (patent) Ear-Cap, a product for "remedying prominent ears" and "preventing disfigurement in the after life." The ad features an illustrated picture of the product being worn by a young woman, and seems designed to forcefully push in outwardly-tilted ears to create a more aesthetically-pleasing ear to face ratio.
