Comments:

Here, a romantic date is seemingly intensified by smoking light cigarettes. The woman in the image holds her cigarette delicately as her date leans in and affectionately gazes toward her. The red accents throughout the image, from the tablecloth, to the cups, to the drapes, to the violinist’s shirt, to the woman’s own accessories and makeup, emphasize not only the romantic aspects of the date, but also the red Lucky Strike bull's-eye, fostering the impression that Lucky Strike is synonymous with romance.
