EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from 1885 showcases an intriguing advertisement poster for the American Eagle Tobacco Company in Detroit, Michigan. The focal point of the image is a stunning portrait of renowned English actress Lillie Langtry, elegantly adorned as a geisha. Dressed in a traditional kimono and holding a delicate parasol, Langtry's profile exudes grace and allure. The chromolithograph technique used to create this vintage masterpiece adds depth and vibrancy to every detail. It transports us back to the late 19th century when such advertisements were not only visually striking but also cultural artifacts that reflected society's fascination with Orientalism. Langtry's portrayal as a geisha captures the imagination, blending elements of Eastern mystique with Western sensibilities. Her fan delicately held in her hand further enhances her enigmatic persona. This print serves as a testament to the artistry and creativity employed by advertising companies during this era. It reminds us of how different marketing strategies were back then compared to today's commercial-driven world. Granger Art on Demand has beautifully preserved this historical gem from their collection, allowing us to appreciate both its artistic value and its significance as an artifact of American tobacco industry history.
