EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 1930s, a bygone era filled with charm and elegance. The image showcases a remarkable advertisement for Greys Cigarettes, featuring a member of the esteemed Royal Scots Greys Regiment mounted on horseback. Dressed in their distinctive cavalry uniform, this soldier exudes an air of authority and grace. The composition beautifully captures the essence of military tradition as we witness the soldier executing a crisp salute while astride his majestic steed. The attention to detail is impeccable, from the perfectly tailored uniform to the polished boots that reflect years of dedication and discipline. Transporting us through time, this photograph offers a glimpse into an age when cigarette advertisements were seen as symbols of sophistication rather than commercial products. It harkens back to an era where smoking was considered fashionable and even endorsed by respected institutions such as regiments within the armed forces. Preserved within Universal History Archive's extensive collection, this historical artifact serves not only as a testament to advertising techniques prevalent during that period but also highlights society's perception of cigarettes at that time. As we admire this striking image today, let us appreciate it for its artistic value and its ability to transport us back in time rather than focusing solely on its original purpose or any potential commercial use associated with it.
