EDITORS COMMENTS
: An Elegant Scene of Camaraderie and Luxury from De Reszke's Illustrated Advertisement, Circa 1916 In this illustrated advertisement, titled "First Class Smoking," we are transported back in time to circa 1916, where the aristocracy of cigarettes, De Reszke, invites us to witness an elegant scene of camaraderie and luxury unfolding on a train. The image, a masterpiece from the archives of Mary Evans Prints Online, depicts a military man, impeccably dressed in his uniform, extending a cigarette towards a fellow passenger. Seated across from him, a fashionably dressed lady, adorned in the latest trends of the era, graciously accepts the offer with a smile. The colorful advertisement, reminiscent of a magazine spread from a high-end publication, exudes an air of sophistication and refinement. The train's plush interiors, with their rich fabrics and polished woodwork, serve as the perfect backdrop for this scene of leisure and indulgence. The use of soft, muted tones and intricate details adds to the overall allure of the advertisement, making it a true visual treat for the discerning eye. The advertisement, which appeared in the November issue of a popular magazine, Volume Rillette, showcases De Reszke's commitment to providing its customers with the finest cigarettes, fit for the aristocracy. The image, with its timeless appeal and evocative imagery, continues to captivate and inspire, offering a glimpse into the past and a reminder of the enduring allure of the elegant world of luxury and refinement.
