1895 Advertising Cigarette Crystal Smoker Richmond Gem Southeast
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the turn of the century, specifically 1895, as we delve into a British newspaper advertisement for Richmond Gem Cigarettes. The image showcases an exquisite crystal ashtray placed on top of a finely crafted wooden table. Resting elegantly beside it is a half-smoked cigarette, emitting delicate wisps of smoke that dance in the air. The attention to detail in this photograph is remarkable; every element has been carefully arranged to exude sophistication and refinement. Two distinguished men can be seen in the background, wearing stylish English hats and engrossed in deep conversation. Their late Victorian attire further emphasizes their status as gentlemen of high society. Richmond Gem Cigarettes are undoubtedly at the heart of this advertisement's narrative. The brand's name subtly engraved on the crystal ashtray serves as a reminder that these cigarettes were not just any ordinary tobacco product but rather an emblem of luxury and indulgence. As we gaze upon this snapshot from history, we are transported to a time when smoking was considered fashionable and synonymous with social status. This photograph captures not only an era but also reflects how advertising played a significant role even then – enticing consumers through visual aesthetics and appealing imagery. Granger Art on Demand has once again preserved an iconic piece from our past, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance.
