About the Item

This original Cigare Havane poster, created circa 1950 by artist Dujardin, captures the elegance and sophistication associated with Havana cigars. The composition features a whimsically anthropomorphized cigar, complete with a black top hat, white scarf, and a charming expression, as it leisurely smokes itself. This playful yet refined approach reflects the luxurious appeal of Cuban cigars, positioning them as a mark of class and distinction. Executed in a mid-century commercial illustration style with Art Deco influences, the poster makes use of a warm, muted color palette and soft shading techniques to create depth. The curving typography of "Cigare Havane" adds a dynamic, modern touch, reinforcing the poster’s stylish aesthetic. The background elements, including the hazy swirl of smoke, subtly suggest the sensory pleasure of enjoying a fine cigar. Promotional posters from this era often sought to capture the lifestyle associated with the product rather than merely depicting it. Here, Dujardin elevates the cigar to an almost human character, lending it personality and a sense of exclusivity. The design is both lighthearted and sophisticated, making it an enduring example of vintage advertising art. Printed in France, this poster stands as a testament to the golden age of lithographic advertising, where bold graphics and clever visual storytelling were key to marketing luxury goods. Today, it remains a coveted collector’s piece, embodying the timeless appeal of Havana cigars and mid-century poster design. Art Deco - Tobacco - Advertising Cuba - Select Gaillard Paris

1935 Original Art Deco poster by Cassandre - Dubo, Dubon, Dubonnet
By Adolphe Jean-Marie (AM) Cassandre
Located in PARIS, FR
"In triptych form, the mythical Dubo, Dubon, Dubonnet is in a way the ancestor of the animated gif! A simple, poetic visual narrative wrapped in a humorous tone. A silhouette darkens as the Dubo, Dubon, Dubonnet sequence progresses. Some say that it's these gestures and features that have given rise to our image of the aperitif. Cheers, Cassandra! Today, the Evin law would forbid this type of alcohol promotion, but that hasn't stopped this poster from becoming a cult image, taken up and quoted by every generation of graphic designers. Dubonnet is a brand of vermouth flavored mainly with cinchona, available in red and white. It was created by French chemist Joseph Dubonnet. It was in Paris, near the future site of the Garnier opera house, that Joseph Dubonnet developed his cinchona wine in 1846. To combat malaria, he developed this bitter-tasting medicine, which he masked with a strong-tasting decoction of herbs and spices. Soldiers in the Foreign Legion...
