Angel Cigarettes Cloche Dryden Maid Tobacco Wings 1928
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1928 showcases a unique advertisement for Blaupunkt cigarettes, featuring a maid assisting a woman in putting on her angel wings. The scene is set in the historical Dryden era, with the woman elegantly dressed in a cloche hat and holding a cigarette in her hand. Her loyal dog sits beside her, adding to the charm of the image.
The contrast between the sophisticated lady and the humble maid creates an interesting dynamic, symbolizing luxury and service. The maid's gesture of helping the woman put on her wings adds a touch of whimsy to the advertisement, suggesting that smoking Blaupunkt cigarettes can make you feel as light as an angel.
This piece of advertising history not only promotes tobacco products but also reflects societal norms and fashion trends of the time. It captures a moment where elegance meets fantasy, inviting viewers to imagine themselves transported to this glamorous world.
Overall, this print is not just about selling cigarettes but about telling a story through visual imagery. It serves as a reminder of how advertisements have evolved over time while still retaining their ability to captivate audiences with creativity and imagination.
