EDITORS COMMENTS
In this advertisement for State Express Cigarettes from 1912, a dapper young gentleman exudes confidence and charm as he woos his beloved on a romantic evening. The elegant scene unfolds on a verandah or terrace, illuminated by the soft glow of a Chinese lantern. The couple's tender moment is set against the backdrop of a tranquil dusk, adding to the sentimental atmosphere. The man's impeccable style and sophistication are on full display, from his tailored suit and polished shoes to the elegant way he holds a State Express Cigarette between his fingers. The gentle smoke curls up into the night air, adding an air of mystery and allure. The advertisement, which does not mention the company directly, instead focuses on the inspiration and confidence that the State Express Cigarette provides its smoker. The image evokes a sense of upper-class refinement and romantic longing, making it a timeless depiction of courtship in the early 20th century. The pretty young woman gazes at her partner with adoration, her expression one of ardor and tenderness. The pair make a striking and romantic tableau, their connection palpable even through the medium of a photograph. This advertisement is a charming reminder of the power of style, sophistication, and the simple pleasure of a shared moment between two people. The image transports us back to a bygone era, where the world moved a little slower, and the simple act of sharing a cigarette could be an expression of deep affection.
