Cigar Label: 19th Century Dutch Tobacco Advertising

Mariner, Uit de Beste Soorten Tabak Gefabriceerd (Sailor, Manufactured using the Best Types of Tobacco)

"Mariner, Uit de Beste Soorten Tabak Gefabriceerd" and "Fabriek Van Sigaren". A loose translation from the Dutch language to the English for the advertisement written on this original Dutch cigar label reads; (Sailor, Manufactured using the Best Types of Tobacco) and (Cigar Factory). The image on the label depicts a sailor seated on cargo, barrels and boxes with a view of a ship in the background. This is an original chromolithographic advertising cigar label printed around 1895. "Mariner, Uit de Beste Soorten Tabak Gefabriceerd" is a fine, original example of European lithographic advertising art.
 
Title: Mariner, Uit de Beste Soorten Tabak Gefabriceerd (Translation from Dutch: Manufactured using the Best Types of Tobacco)
Company: Fabriek Van Sigaren (Cigar Factory)
Date: c. 1895
Medium: Original Chromolithograph
Source: Dutch Advertising Cigar Label
Note: This original chromolithograph was created for a Dutch tobacco manufacturer. Until the 1930's, cigar companies flourished in the thousands throughout Europe and the United States. It was on of the richest industries in the world and companies spared no expense competing against each other through their advertising art. Their images thus represent the epitome of complex printmaking techniques. This original chromolithograph dates from around 1895. It is a Dutch cigar label. The top logo reads; Mariner (Sailor). The letterpress over the image of the sailor smoking a cigar and the ship reads; "Uit de Beste Soorten Tabak Gefabriceerd" and the lower print reads; "Fabriek Van Sigaren". A loose translation from the Dutch language to the English is (Manufactured using the Best Types of Tobacco) and (Cigar Factory). The image depicts a sailor seated on a barrel or box of cargo with a view of a ship coming into port in the background.
  Chromolithography -- printing images by using a series of carefully registered tint stones -- became the most popular method for publishing everything from fine art and posters to post cards and advertisements during the latter half of the nineteenth century. The far less costly advances of photomechanical methods, however, made this original and complex form of printmaking all but obsolete.
  Companies were quick to recognize the vast potential of this color medium. Beginning around 1870, advertisers regularly allied their products to appealing visual images. And in the following decades, advertisers were creating the most expensive and elaborate works, spending thousands of dollars on additional techniques. Further, expensive steps were added during the 'golden' age of the cigar label. Brass embossing dies were often engraved into the paper, lending a three dimensional quality to the label. As well, a bronze powder was applied like ink and burnished with brushes to create areas of gold. This was called, 'bronzing'. As antique artworks, advertising images, more than any other form reflect the true tastes of the times.
