EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustrated advertisement, hailing from circa 1914, showcases the elegant allure of De Reszke cigarettes, affectionately referred to as 'The Aristocracy of Cigarettes.' The image, a visual delight from the August Rillette volume of a popular magazine, presents a refined couple engulfed in an intimate embrace. Both individuals are impeccably dressed in black-tie attire, their sophisticated attire accentuating the opulence of the scene. Intriguingly, each person holds a cigarette between their fingers, their lips meeting as they share a single smoke trail. The unified smoke trail, a testament to their shared indulgence, adds an enchanting layer to the image, further emphasizing the bond between the couple. The use of color in the advertisement is subtle yet effective, with the deep hues of the couple's clothing contrasting beautifully against the ethereal, smoky backdrop. De Reszke cigarettes were renowned for their premium quality, and this advertisement masterfully conveys the brand's message of sophistication, luxury, and shared experiences. The image serves as a captivating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of elegance and romance that was synonymous with the De Reszke brand during the early 20th century.
