EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1919 showcases an intriguing American advertisement for Cortez Cigars. The image depicts a scene that is both humorous and thought-provoking. In the foreground, we see a well-dressed man in an elegant suit and top hat, holding a cigar in one hand while scolding a crying baby with the other. The juxtaposition of this stern-looking gentleman with the distressed infant creates an interesting visual contrast. The text accompanying the image reads "Weaning Him for Cortez Cigars" suggesting that smoking these cigars is seen as a rite of passage or initiation into adulthood. This clever play on words adds depth to the advertisement's message, inviting viewers to reflect on societal norms and expectations during that era. The illustration itself is beautifully detailed, capturing every crease in the man's suit and every tear streaming down the baby's face. The artist has skillfully conveyed emotions through their artistry, making it impossible not to feel some sympathy for both characters involved. Overall, this vintage advertisement serves as a fascinating glimpse into early 20th-century American culture. It raises questions about social customs surrounding tobacco use at that time while showcasing artistic talent through its intricate detailing. Whether you're interested in history or simply appreciate fine art photography, this Granger Art on Demand print will undoubtedly spark conversations and captivate your imagination.
