Pall Mall Ad | Excerpt from Life Magazine | 1969 | Framed
We take the risk to walk into the shoes of the devil’s advocate and introduce you to this stylish vintage ad of the famous cigarette brand Pall Mall, which appeared within the pages of Life magazine.
The year is 1969 and the PR propaganda was ferociously riding the wave: the world was well and there was no global warming “yet”; American boys were fighting for an honorable cause all the way in Vietnam; and cigarette manufacturers were decreasing the amount of tar in their products, claiming that smoking DOES NOT affect you or those around you negatively. Considering just how attractive this ad is, we definitely know that it comes from a relatively old age from today’s moral standpoint.
In spite of the illusory promises of the past however, today this ad offers useful retrospection and presents itself as an intriguing and original gift for those ladies and gentlemen that know just how powerful words can be when it comes to charm, seduction, and conviction. The perfect decoration for a wall in a bachelor’s loft, a media outlet’s office, or an alternative retro diner.
As for the framing: we frame as it is for ourselves, choosing quality products and maintaining a high standard.
