Description:
1905 Elegant Vintage Edwardian Ad- Dapper Denizens of Manhattan's Long Acre Square Invariably prefer the taste of Murad Cigarettes- New Times Square Building Searchlight and Neon Signs Artwork. Sensational and Rare Original Color Vintage Edwardian Ad taken from the pages of a 1905 issue of Theatre Magazine. An arbiter of tastes and sophistication primarily aimed at the well-heeled carriage trade readership of New Yorkers, Theatre Magazine offered beautiful and bountiful glimpses of the best that Broadway had to offer during the exceptionally smart Edwardian Era. This is a fantastic ad which showcases in brilliant color the dapper genteel nighttime denizens of this world- lovely ladies in pastel shades ensembles, natty motorists in scarlet autos, tuxedo-clad gents enjoying the marvelous Turkish blend of Murad Cigarettes in the bright glow from searchlights, streetlamps and neon signs in Long Acre Square- shortly to be transformed into the well-known Times Square. Glorious color graphic includes a glimpse of the newly opened New York Times Building with searchlight bathing the midnight crowd of theater-goers as they depart to sample the chic cafes and night spots of 1905 New York! Ad is rare and in merely good minus shape- one corner is missing at the bottom- measures 10 x 14- done on heavy-grade stock paper will be stunning on display. Great bit of early twentieth century advertising art!
