Tobacco

Tobacco was one of the most heavily advertised commodities of the 19th and early 20th centuries, which made it a reliable engine for ambitious commercial illustration. Cigarette brands, pipe tobacco tins, and cigar labels all competed for shelf presence, and the artwork that resulted ranged from elegant lithographed packaging to large-format trade advertising. The pieces shown here are period originals from that tradition.
