1880s 1887 Bufford Cigar Cigarette Funny Tobacco Trade Card
EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage trade card, dating back to 1887, captures the essence of American humor and advertising from the late 19th century. Published by J. H. Bufford, a renowned printing company at that time, this whimsical illustration invites viewers to "Take a pinch". The charming cartoon depicts a jovial man with a mischievous grin on his face as he offers tobacco products - cigars and cigarettes - to potential customers. The artist's skillful use of vibrant colors brings life to this humorous scene, while intricate details showcase the era's artistic style. Trade cards like these were popular promotional tools during the late 1800s when businesses sought creative ways to attract customers. This particular card showcases how tobacco companies utilized humor and eye-catching illustrations to leave an impression on potential buyers. As we admire this piece today, it serves as a window into both American history and advertising practices of yesteryears. It reminds us of the ingenuity employed by businesses in their quest for success. Granger Art on Demand has preserved this fascinating artifact from our past through their collection. By sharing it with us now, they allow us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its historical significance in shaping early commercial culture in America.
