In a striking 1897 tobacco advertisement by Alphonse Mucha, a glamorous woman lets us know that "Paris cigarettes are the best!" Although the advertisement is in Spanish, it originates from France. During that era, cigarettes were commonly associated with women, while cigars were considered the preferred choice among gentlemen. See this image on a greeting card! Mucha (1860-1939) was a visionary artist whose artistry and creativity shaped the Art Nouveau movement! Born in 1860 in Moravia, now the Czech Republic, Mucha's artistic journey took him from a struggling artist to an internationally renowned master of his craft. With his distinctive style characterized by intricate patterns, flowing lines, and ethereal female figures, Mucha's art played a significant role in shaping the visual aesthetics of the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

Date: 1911 Brand: Egyptienne Luxury Cigarettes Tobacco Manipulation by Targeting Women Exoticism and luxury are evoked in this advertisement featuring an Oriental-inspired woman. The woman depicted holds a box of cigarettes while drenched in pearls and jewels, appealing to Western men who are drawn in by this woman’s life of luxury and her notable allure. Her long, wild hair set her apart from the shorter styles popular in Western fashion at the time. She appears to be offering the cigarettes along with herself – two “pleasures” in one, perhaps?

Let me start this post off by sharing a bit about my nerdy and unusual job, which will partly explain why I am obsessed with old advertising and why I plan to share with you, from time-to-time, interesting advertising from the early 1900's. I currently work part-time as a research assistant for the Modernist Journals Project. The MJP digs up rare, old magazines (mainly literary magazines) and digitizes them so people can have free access to them online. Right now, we are working on digitizing our first American "mass market" magazine -- Scribner's Magazine. Scribner's had almost 100 pages of ads per issue, and I'm always on the lookout for interesting fashion tid-bits (and I also like to keep my eye on the various ways women are portrayed in the ads...or how it changed over the years). I am particularly intrigued by these Murad Cigarettes ads from the time America was in the First World War -- the women and the color palettes are so striking! The stripe/floral motifs and bright colors remind me of a weird fusion of Marimekko fabrics and the pop art of Takashi Murakami. It is fascinating to see such "modern" design elements being used even before the 20's -- things we associate with the 60's (like Marimekko) were often inspired by designs being played with more than 40 years earlier. The first two ads are actually from Taschen's new book: All-American Ads 1900-1919" (yet another thing to add to my wish list). I found the second two in issues of Scribner's Magazine from 1919: From Taschen's "All-American Ads 1900-1919". Both from 1919. See any similarities? The colors, circles, and swirls remind me of the Marimekko-inspired designs from H&M last year. From Scribner's Magazine, Sep. 1918 The design on the pillows in the above ad remind me so much of Murakami's smiley-face flowers. From Scribner's Magazine, July 1918. It is interesting to note the way the ladies outfits mimic the soldier's uniform. What about those striped pants in the Murad ad? ...more Marimekko designs come to mind. Aside from the wonderful design elements, the women in these ads are quite unusual for the time -- exotic, sexual, strong. They seem very avant-garde, wearing their hair short and smoking cigarettes. All of this makes me wonder what was going on here: Was it simply the tobacco companies' provocative attempt to expand the market by appealing to women? Was it because the war made women want/need to feel more independent and the ads are reflecting this new social climate? I would love to know how people at the time responded to these ads... What do you lovely readers think??
