EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage poster, titled "Poster advertising the cigarette brand, Le Nil" is a true testament to the artistry of its time. Created by Albert Guillaume in the early 20th century, this colour lithograph print showcases an intriguing scene that speaks volumes about society's perception of smoking. The central figure in this artwork is a distinguished priest, clad in his traditional robes and holding a lit cigarette from the renowned Le Nil brand. Surrounding him are individuals from various walks of life - aristocrats donning top hats, policemen maintaining order, and even monks representing religious orders. The message conveyed through their presence is clear: everyone claims to exclusively smoke Le Nil. As smoke rings elegantly swirl around them, this advertisement highlights the allure and sophistication associated with smoking during that era. It also subtly suggests that indulging in Le Nil cigarettes transcends social boundaries and unites people from different backgrounds under one shared pleasure. Beyond its commercial purpose, this poster offers valuable insights into societal norms and attitudes towards tobacco consumption at the time. It serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical artifact capturing an era when smoking was not only socially acceptable but also seen as fashionable among all strata of society. Preserved within private collections today, this exquisite piece continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and thought-provoking symbolism.
