EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the glamorous world of the 1950s with this advertisement for Life cigarettes, featuring the elegant pair of models Helen Connor and Christopher Powell. The black-and-white photograph, taken in a studio setting, exudes an air of sophistication and class. Helen Connor, with her striking features and graceful pose, holds a pack of Life cigarettes in one hand, while her other hand rests gently on the railings of a wrought-iron gate. Her sleek, dark dress and high heels complete her chic appearance. Christopher Powell, an epitome of masculine charm, stands beside her, leaning against a sleek and stylish Facel Vega car. The white and silver vehicle, a symbol of luxury and status, adds to the overall allure of the advertisement. The models' expressions convey a sense of confidence and satisfaction, reflecting the belief that Life cigarettes were the choice of the discerning and elegant smoker. The advertisement's tagline, "Life is a precious commodity. Make the most of it," further emphasizes the brand's commitment to living life to the fullest. This photograph, taken in 1959, is a testament to the advertising techniques of the era, which focused on creating an aspirational image that appealed to consumers' desire for luxury, glamour, and status. The Colin Sherborne Collection/Mary Evans Picture Library captures this moment in time, allowing us to step back and appreciate the elegance and sophistication of the past.
