Cigarettes Saphir 1910 Original Poster

This advertisement poster features an exotic woman with a Hookah surrounded by curls of smoke. She advertises a machine rolled cigarette, which would have been a luxury product when most smokers still rolled their own. This poster has elements of Art Nouveau style, such as curvy lines and ornamentation, but the artists use of color and contrast show the poster moving towards Art Deco. Particulars: This lithographic poster has been professionally conserved and backed on acid-free linen paper (see poster and print conservation and restoration)
