Cigar Box Labels: Portraits of Life, Mirrors of History pays
tribute to cigars and the pictorial glory of Victorian-era cigar
box labels, a unique form of commercial advertising that flourished
in the business place a century ago and helped drive cigars to
widespread prominence in American society. Those who fancy these
stunningly beautiful paper images as a hobby are in the midst of
the hottest area of antique tobacco advertising collecting today.
Showcased here are some of the finest and most desirable examples
produced by the old stone chromolithographic method between 1860
and 1910. This book also explores some of the rich historical past
that surrounds cigars-their manufacture, marketing, and, most of
all, their mystique. Also featured is a potpourri of contemporary
anecdotes, poems, and other bits of literary whimsy designed to
amuse, educate, and titillate the imagination.
