"A picture is worth a thousand words." There is no better
description for what the art of the cigar box label did for sales
of cigars from the mid 1800s through the 1930s. Busty women,
heroes, impish children, sports icons, composers, all these and
more found their way into the advertiser's art. The makers would
change labels at the drop of the hat if they thought it would help
sales. This new book shows hundreds of the finest examples from the
world's largest private collection of cigar box label art,
revealing the imagination and creativity of the printers and
lithographers of the period. Each is shown in a beautiful, full
color photograph and is accompanied by a description with a current
value on the collector's market. This is a visual delight, sure to
please cigar aficionados, but also to be much valued by collectors,
designers, and students of advertising history. And it makes a
great gift for the smoker in your life!
