EMIL RANZENHOFER (1864-1930) FAVORIT / DER FREUND DER RAUCHER. 1902. 24 3/4x37 1/2 inches, 63x95 1/2 cm. Gesellschaft fur Graphische Industrie, Vienna. Condition A-: minor tears and losses at edges; vertical fold; ink notation on verso showing through. Paper. As smoking became more and more prevalent, smoking accessories also became the subject of advertising; this "cigar ring pin" was basically a roach clip for men smoking in the office. Note the slight whiff of Art Nouveau stylization in the handling of the smoke and how the motif is reflected in the poster's borders. Denscher p. 138.
