EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from The Advertising Archives takes us back to the 1950s in the United Kingdom, a time when cigarette smoking was not only socially acceptable but also heavily promoted. In this snapshot, we see a dashing figure named Olivier indulging in his favorite pastime - enjoying a smoke. The image exudes an air of sophistication and charm as Olivier effortlessly holds his cigarette with elegance. His suave demeanor and impeccable style perfectly capture the essence of British culture during that era. It is evident that smoking was considered fashionable and even aspirational at the time. This photograph serves as a reminder of how advertising played a significant role in shaping societal norms during the twentieth century. Cigarette advertisements were prevalent throughout this period, often glamorizing smoking as an integral part of one's lifestyle. While it is important to acknowledge that our understanding of health risks associated with smoking has evolved since then, this image allows us to reflect on how advertising can influence public perception and behavior. The Advertising Archives have preserved this piece of history for us to appreciate and learn from. As we gaze upon Olivier's confident pose, we are transported back to an era where cigarettes were more than just tobacco products; they represented status, allure, and cultural identity.
