Poster Details
Artist: Stephano (a French artist of whom little is known)
Circa: 1910–1920s
Style: The poster incorporates elements of both Art Nouveau and Surrealism, with its use of curved lines and a dreamy, smokey feeling.
Printer: Imp. Moullot of Marseille, France
Description
The artwork features an exotic woman with a striking orange turban and a feather, emerging from a swirl of smoke as if she were a genie from a lamp. This was considered a rather risqué depiction at the time, which added to the poster's allure. The advertisement aimed to market machine-rolled cigarettes as a luxury product during an era when most people still rolled their own.
