EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a moment in history when smoking was not only socially acceptable but also glamorized. The advertisement for Gold Flake Cigarettes at Ascot Racecourse in 1938 depicts a time when cigarettes were seen as symbols of sophistication and elegance.
The image showcases the royal enclosure at Ascot, where men and women alike are enjoying their Gold Flake Cigs. The tagline "the Mans cigarette that Women like" suggests that these cigarettes were not just popular among men, but also appealing to women who appreciated the quality and taste of Willss Gold Flake.
In this snapshot from the past, we see a glimpse into a world where smoking was not only common but even encouraged as a way to appear refined and stylish. The gold accents on the packaging reflect the luxury associated with smoking these particular cigarettes.
Despite our modern understanding of the dangers of smoking, this print serves as a reminder of how perceptions around tobacco have evolved over time. It is an intriguing piece of historical advertising that offers insight into societal norms and attitudes towards smoking in the early 20th century.
