Comments:
Exoticism and luxury are evoked in this advertisement featuring an Oriental-inspired woman. The woman depicted holds a box of cigarettes while drenched in pearls and jewels, appealing to Western men who are drawn in by this woman’s life of luxury and her notable allure. Her long, wild hair set her apart from the shorter styles popular in Western fashion at the time. She appears to be offering the cigarettes along with herself – two “pleasures” in one, perhaps?
