EDITORS COMMENTS
The Dream of the Cigarette Card Collector" is a delightful and humorous cartoon by an unknown artist, published in December 15, 1923. This charming image captures the essence of the obsession and passion that comes with collecting. In the foreground, a man sits on the pavement, surrounded by a mountainous pile of cigarette cards. His eyes are closed in blissful contentment as he indulges in his dream. Above him, a procession of men and boys, all carrying their own stacks of cards, make their way towards him. The man's smile widens as he reaches out to accept the offerings of his fellow collectors. The scene is set in a quiet, residential street, with a quaint house in the background, adding to the nostalgic feel of the 1920s. The artist masterfully uses humor to illustrate the depths of the collector's dedication and the camaraderie among like-minded individuals. The use of simple lines and minimalist shading adds to the whimsical charm of the cartoon. The Dream of the Cigarette Card Collector is a testament to the enduring appeal of collecting and the joy it brings to people. The image transports us back to a simpler time, when the thrill of acquiring a new addition to one's collection could bring so much happiness. This cartoon is a must-have for any collection of vintage humor and a reminder of the universal appeal of the hobby.
