Provocative 1926 Vintage Deco Ad- Flirtatious Flapper Offers to Light the Chesterfields for a Duo of Dapper Gents!

Provocative 1926 Vintage Deco Ad- Flirtatious Flapper Offers to Light the Chesterfields for a duo of Dapper Gents! Audacious and Daring Original Vintage Deco Ad taken from the pages of a rare issue of Smart Set Magazine for Spring of 1926. The wildly popular flapper became the hallmark of modernity- by 1926 she was free to do all manner of previously notorious things; vote, bob her hair and smoke cigarettes openly in public. Audacious and slightly suggestive image done for Chesterfield- (second only to Camels in marketable popularity), presents a flirty flapper seen to novel advantage in the darkened whisper of the evening, lighting two dapper escorts cigarettes from one match, flickering just enough to reveal her beaded, sleeveless evening frock and their matinee-idol profiles. The simple yet effective line A two to one favorite is the only ad copy to be seen. This is a delightfully daring image for the time- hinting that this modern girl has not one but many suitors waiting for her hand. Eloquent use of light lends a rather formal note of glamour to the proceedings. Ad measures 7 x 11- and is in only good minus condition- edgewear and some darkening to the edges do not in any manner mar the breezy charms of this rarely seen ad. It's definitely got that C'mon baby, light my fire feeling to it!
