EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1937 showcases "The Greys - Greys Cigarettes" advertisement featured in The Illustrated London News. In this striking image, a group of men and women on horseback can be seen saluting while holding reins and smoking cigarettes. The composition exudes an air of elegance and sophistication, capturing the essence of the era. The central figure is a distinguished woman, confidently seated atop her majestic horse. She holds a parasol with poise as she gazes into the distance, embodying grace and femininity. Surrounding her are men dressed in military attire, symbolizing strength and power. The cleverly designed ad seamlessly blends elements of war imagery with cigarette promotion. The text boldly declares "Greys Cigarettes" emphasizing their association with the renowned cavalry regiment, Royal Scots Greys. This fusion creates an intriguing concept that appeals to both patriotism and personal indulgence. The vintage aesthetic adds to the allure of this historical artifact, transporting us back to a time when advertising was artfully crafted. The intricate details captured by the photographer highlight every nuance – from the horses' sleek coats to each individual's facial expression. As we admire this remarkable piece of history preserved by Heritage Images, it serves as a reminder of how advertising has evolved over time while reflecting upon societal values during that period in our shared past.
