EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print, titled "La Flor de Luis Martinez" takes us back to the late 19th or early 20th century, showcasing a vibrant cigar label that was part of American culture at the time. The image depicts a scene filled with rich history and cultural references. In the foreground, we see a woman elegantly smoking a cigar, exuding confidence and femininity. Beside her stands a young boy, perhaps her son or brother, observing her with curiosity. This portrayal hints at the intergenerational nature of tobacco consumption during this era. The artwork also incorporates elements from India and Asia, suggesting an appreciation for exotic cultures prevalent in Western society at that time. The intricate gold metal details on the label add an air of luxury and sophistication to this piece. As an advertising lithograph illustration, this print aimed to entice potential customers by using bold colors and eye-catching designs commonly associated with tobacco products. However, it is important not to overlook the historical context surrounding smoking addiction and its impact on individuals' health. Overall, this chromolitho offers us a glimpse into America's past while raising questions about societal norms and cultural influences. It serves as both an artistic representation of its time period and a reminder of how our perceptions have evolved since then.
