EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant Cuban cigar box label from the 19th century. The chromolitho technique used in its creation brings out the rich colors and intricate details, making it a true work of art. The label depicts an idyllic scene set in Havana, Cuba, with a bustling harbor filled with ships and boats. In the foreground, we see elegantly dressed women enjoying their cigars while taking in the sea breeze. Their indulgence is beautifully captured by this ephemeral moment frozen in time. A prominent crest adorns the top of the label, symbolizing both prestige and quality. It proudly represents Cuba's long-standing tradition as one of the world's finest tobacco producers. As our eyes wander through this image, we notice a charming lighthouse standing tall amidst palm trees on a distant shore. This serves as a reminder that cigars have always been intricately linked to Cuba's maritime heritage. The carefully crafted boxes and crates surrounding these women highlight not only their love for smoking but also hint at society's fascination with tobacco during that era. This print offers us a glimpse into history - capturing not just an advertisement but also reflecting upon themes such as addiction and cultural significance associated with smoking. Bridgeman Images has once again brought us an extraordinary piece of art that allows us to appreciate both its aesthetic beauty and historical context without mentioning any commercial use or specific company involved.
