Description: This is an original Murad Turkish Cigarette Ad from 1912. In the early 1900s, manufactures of Turkish cigarettes tripled their sales and became legitimate competitors to leading brands. The New York-based Greek tobacconist Soterios Anargyros produced the hand-rolled Murad cigarettes, made of pure Turkish tobacco. Murad referenced the Oriental roots of their Turkish tobacco blends through pack art and advertising images. Surely one of the most gorgeously over-the-top ad campaigns for any cigarette was the long-running series for Murad brand made by Rea Irvin.Irvin was the first art editor for New Yorker and made the first iconic New Yorker Cover in 1925 that has been used every year on it’s anniversary since. He did many magazine covers but is still best known for his 169 covers of New Yorker and the Murad Cigarette ads as featured here. These are beautiful works of art and would look wonderful framed in your home. They measure 6 x 9 inches. I have been a trusted vintage paper dealer since 1989 and been on eBay since 1997.
