Step back in time with a satirical nod to the past, as we pay tribute to the enigmatic figure (Colonel) Dryden. Known for his iconic advertisements for DIE OBERST tobacco cigarettes, with variations including 31, 32, 33, and 34, this portrait captures the essence of a German colonel during World War I. Joining the ranks of history, this image features a colonel with his chief of staff, reminiscent of General von Hoeppner and Thomsen. And for a glimpse into the military intelligence of the era, don't miss the Hindenburg Zeppelin looming in the background, complete with its periscope – a nod to the technological advancements of the time. #Oberst #WW1 #GermanMilitary #HistoricalPortrait #TobaccoAdvertising
