EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print captures a fascinating glimpse into the world of American advertising in 1894. The poster, titled "AD: NEWSBOY CIGARS" showcases an African American boy surrounded by various elements that reflect the turn of the century era. Manufactured by Brown Brothers of Detroit, these cigars were promoted through this lithograph masterpiece. The young newsboy is depicted wearing a stylish hat and holding a deck of playing cards, suggesting his involvement in a card game during his break from selling newspapers. Despite his tender age, he exudes a sense of maturity and responsibility as he represents child labor prevalent during that time. The composition also includes other intriguing details such as a dog standing loyally beside him and crates filled with Newsboy Cigars. These elements add depth to the narrative, highlighting both companionship and economic struggles faced by individuals living in poverty-stricken communities. With its rich historical significance, this advertisement serves as a window into America's past - showcasing not only the artistry involved but also shedding light on societal norms at that time. This lithograph is sure to transport viewers back to late 19th-century Detroit while sparking curiosity about how advertising has evolved over the years.
