Captivating Times Square - A Glimpse into 1943's Camel Cigarette Advertisement
EDITORS COMMENTS
. Step back in time to the bustling streets of New York City, where a captivating billboard for Camel cigarettes dominated the iconic Times Square. This vintage photograph, captured by John Vachon in February 1943, offers a fascinating glimpse into an era when smoking was deeply ingrained in American culture. The towering billboard stands tall against the midtown skyline, its vibrant colors and bold lettering demanding attention from pedestrians and passersby alike. Amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, people can be seen strolling along the sidewalk or waiting at a nearby bus stop, their curiosity piqued by this alluring advertisement. As smoke swirls around the larger-than-life image of a dromedary camel – synonymous with Camel cigarettes – one cannot help but be transported to an earlier time when smoking was considered fashionable and sophisticated. The storefronts lining the street add to the charm of this snapshot from history. This photograph not only captures a moment frozen in time but also serves as a reminder of how advertising has evolved over decades. It is through such images that we gain insights into our past while appreciating how far we have come since then. Granger Art on Demand presents this remarkable print as part of their collection, allowing us to relish in nostalgia and appreciate both artistry and historical significance simultaneously.
