Comments:
This advertisement features an affluent couple smoking Lucky Strike cigarettes together. The woman tilts her head upward in a haughty posture as she holds her lit cigarette, and the man busies with lighting his cigarette. The woman’s red cape with ermine details not only reflects the red target on the Lucky Strike packaging, but also exudes luxury. Similarly, the man’s stuffy tuxedo offers him a dignified and well heeled appearance. The advertisement thus capitalizes on the general public’s desire to feel luxurious during the financial hardships of the Great Depression.
