EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing the intriguing advertisement for "Cigarettes by Abdulla - S. O. S. - The Professional Cheerer" from 1939. The image is sourced from Punch, or the London Charivari magazine, published on February 1st of that year. In this snapshot, we see a woman dressed in striped pyjamas sitting on a bed in her bedroom. She holds an orange cigarette box with vibrant lettering advertising the brand. Beside her stands a man wearing traditional attire, possibly representing Abdulla himself or perhaps a visitor to her bedside. The scene exudes an air of sophistication and mystery as the woman gazes into the distance while delicately holding a lit cigarette between her fingers. A bouquet of flowers rests nearby, suggesting they may be part of an enticing gift accompanying these cigarettes. This print serves as both an advertisement and caricature, capturing elements of early 20th-century life and fashion trends. It showcases how smoking was once perceived as glamorous and fashionable despite our modern understanding of its detrimental health effects. Preserved through time by Messrs Bradbury Agnew & Co. , Limited in London, this print offers us insight into not only historical advertising techniques but also societal attitudes towards smoking during that era.
