About this product

Product Information

Cigar Box Labels: Portraits of Life, Mirrors of History pays tribute to cigars and the pictorial glory of Victorian-era cigar box labels, a unique form of commercial advertising that flourished in the business place a century ago and helped drive cigars to widespread prominence in American society. Those who fancy these stunningly beautiful paper images as a hobby are in the midst of the hottest area of antique tobacco advertising collecting today. Showcased here are some of the finest and most desirable examples produced by the old stone chromolithographic method between 1860 and 1910. This book also explores some of the rich historical past that surrounds cigars-their manufacture, marketing, and, most of all, their mystique. Also featured is a potpourri of contemporary anecdotes, poems, and other bits of literary whimsy designed to amuse, educate, and titillate the imagination.

This seller was amazing! Answered my questions prior to me placing the order. Items were reasonably priced, as was shipping. Arrived earlier than expected. The content was fragile and the seller packed each item with skill and care. Items, although used, are as though brand new. Thank you, 10catcindy, for an excellent buying experience!

  • Cigar Box Labels by Gerard S. Petrone, Jerry Petrone

    The book was well thought out and filled with history on the making of cigar labels as well as many lovely color prints of the labels. These labels were from the 1880's through the early 1900's and I would have liked to see more labels. The price guide was very informative, but would have liked to see the price with the picture since it got a little tiresome flipping back and forth. All in all, it will have a permanent place in our reference library.
