EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a glimpse into the past with Cope Bros & Co, circa 1890. The anonymous creator of this piece has beautifully depicted the art nouveau style of the time, showcasing a vibrant and colorful lithograph promoting tobacco products. The design exudes sophistication and elegance, typical of the fin de siècle era in Great Britain. With elements of Jugendstil and Stile Liberty, this poster exemplifies modernism at its finest. As we admire this piece, we are transported back to a time when smoking was not only socially acceptable but also glamorized through marketing and promotion. The image of a stylish smoker enjoying their cigarette is a reminder of how perceptions have shifted over the years. Despite being created over a century ago, this print still resonates with us today as an example of timeless graphic design. Its reformstil aesthetic and Wiener Secession influences make it truly stand out as a work of art. Let us appreciate this snapshot from history for its beauty and cultural significance, while also acknowledging the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such an iconic image.
