A mysterious woman adorned with a jeweled coral turban emerges from an ornate oil lamp, her form dissolving into sinuous ribbons of smoke that fill the composition. Holding a cigarette aloft, she embodies the exotic allure that early machine-rolled cigarettes promised to sophisticated French consumers of the early 1910s.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePrinted by Imprimerie Moullot in Marseille, the poster exemplifies the stone lithograph mastery that made French advertising art legendary. The deep burgundy background contrasts dramatically with the cream-gray smoke tendrils while an elaborate blue border with organic motifs frames the dreamlike scene. The golden Art Nouveau typography anchors the composition with characteristic period flourishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA standout piece for collectors of Belle Époque advertising, this poster captures that brief moment when commercial art and fine art were indistinguishable, and when tobacco still promised nothing but pleasure and sophistication.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47.0\" x 31.75\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stephano\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition:\u003c\/strong\u003e Very Good, Age appropriate fading, toning and wear.
