EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Flor de Martina, cigar label" takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century when smoking was a popular pastime. The vibrant colors and intricate details of this artwork showcase the skillful techniques employed by the American School during that era. The image features a beautiful woman, exuding femininity and grace, holding a bouquet of wildflowers. Her delicate presence is juxtaposed against the boldness of the tobacco packet she holds in her other hand. This juxtaposition hints at the addictive nature of smoking while also highlighting its allure. The floral motif throughout the print symbolizes both natural beauty and pleasure, enticing potential consumers with thoughts of indulgence and relaxation. It serves as a reminder that even amidst urban settings, one can find solace in nature's offerings. As we delve into this historical piece, it becomes evident that advertising played an essential role in promoting various brands during this time period. The Flor de Martina brand sought to captivate smokers through their visually striking labels like this one. Through this print from Fine Art Finder's Valerie Jackson Harris Collection, we are transported to an era where smoking held cultural significance and artistic expression merged seamlessly with commercial intent. It invites us to reflect on how society has evolved since then while appreciating the artistry behind these vintage advertisements.
