EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Remus" takes us back in time to the early 20th century when cigar labels were a popular form of advertising. The image showcases an ancient scene, depicting the legendary founders of Rome, Romulus and Remus. The intricate details and vibrant colors of this artwork transport us to a bygone era, where tobacco was not only enjoyed but also celebrated through artistic representations like this one. Remus stands tall, his figure exuding strength and determination as he holds a cigar in his hand. This print serves as a reminder of the allure that smoking held for many during that period, with its depiction of Remus embodying both sophistication and indulgence. It is interesting to note how advertising companies utilized such historical figures to promote their products, appealing to consumers' sense of nostalgia and grandeur. As we admire this piece from a private collection, it sparks curiosity about the cultural significance attached to tobacco at that time. Beyond being just another label on a tobacco packet or box, these advertisements played an important role in shaping perceptions around smoking addiction. Bridgeman Images has once again provided us with an intriguing glimpse into history through this remarkable artwork – reminding us how art can capture not only beauty but also societal trends and values.
