EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Advertising Archives takes us back to the early 1900s in the United Kingdom, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. The image showcases a group of women engrossed in reading books adorned with Ogdens' portraits, an iconic British brand of cigarettes that was prevalent during the twentieth century. The scene exudes an air of sophistication and elegance as these stylish ladies indulge in both literature and leisure. With their eyes fixed on the pages before them, they are transported to different worlds through their chosen reads. It is fascinating to observe how even amidst this quiet pursuit, advertising has found its way into their hands - a testament to the power of marketing at that time. Intriguingly, each woman holds her cigarette delicately between her fingers, adding an element of rebellion and allure. Smoking was not only socially acceptable but also seen as fashionable during this period. These subtle advertisements within advertisements remind us of how deeply ingrained tobacco culture once was in society. Image courtesy of The Advertising Archives allows us to appreciate this historical snapshot while reflecting on societal norms and values that have evolved over time. It serves as a reminder that advertising has always played a significant role in shaping consumer behavior and cultural trends throughout history.
