EDITORS COMMENTS
This image captures the essence of the 19th century tobacco trade, as depicted in a vintage cigarette showcard featuring two women skillfully selling packets of Straight Cut and Dubec Turkish cigarettes. The women, dressed in elegant Victorian attire, exude confidence and allure as they entice potential customers with their enticing displays. The Straight Cut cigarettes, with their long, thin sticks, were popular among those who preferred a more traditional smoking experience, while Dubec Turkish cigarettes, known for their distinctive flavor and aroma, were a favorite among the fashionable elite. The intricate details of the showcard, from the delicate folds of the women's clothing to the intricately designed cigarette packets, transport us back in time to an era of elegance and sophistication. The women's expressive faces and the inviting gestures of their hands add to the sense of intimacy and personal connection that was often associated with the tobacco trade during this period. This image offers a glimpse into the past, providing a fascinating look at the role of women in the tobacco industry and the allure of smoking during the 19th century.
