Step Right Up - A Glimpse into America's Smoking Culture in 1947
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the vibrant advertising scene of post-war America. The image showcases a vintage Philip Morris cigarette advertisement that graced the pages of an American magazine in 1947. With its eye-catching logo and bold typography, this ad aimed to entice smokers with its irresistible charm. Set against a backdrop reminiscent of a circus tent, two men confidently walk on a tightrope, symbolizing the delicate balance between pleasure and risk associated with smoking. As they navigate this precarious path, their carefree demeanor reflects the prevailing attitude towards cigarettes during that era. The slogan proudly displayed beneath them captures the essence of this bygone era: "Philip Morris - Middle America's Choice". This phrase encapsulates both the brand's popularity among everyday Americans and their aspiration for sophistication and style. Beyond being just an advertisement, this print offers us a glimpse into American culture at that time. It serves as a reminder of how deeply ingrained smoking was in society – from iconic brands like Philip Morris to their presence within popular media such as magazines. Preserved by The Granger Collection in New York, this photograph allows us to reflect on our evolving attitudes towards smoking while appreciating the artistry behind these historical advertisements.
