At auction is a rare large die cut tobacciana advertising piece which was probably made for retailers to display in their stores. The item depicts a young lady seated in a rustic chair with her Japanese style parasol open and advertising "RICHMOND CLUB Cigarettes"CAMERON & CAMERON, Manufacturers, RICHMOND, VA., U.S.A." This lovely diecut is chromolithographed on heavy paper stock (heavier than card stock) and heavily embossed as well. It measures 13 ½" tall by 9" wide. It is generally in good condition with the following two exceptions: Note at the bottom left of the piece t is a loss which must have shown the rest of her feet and on the back of the chair w the right hand support meets the back cross support t is a clean break. I should also add that the photos look a bit "washed out" to me--the colors on the piece are quite clear and bright. Even with these imperfections we think she is valuable as we've not seen a piece of this size before in a tobacciana advertising die cut. We are dating her about 1890-1900 based on her clothing style and the image. This item came from my late Dad's ephemera collection which he accumulated from about 1950-80. Thanks for looking and please check our other auctions (datolite) and our eBay store (CK Antiques of Virginia) for more ephemera and other interesting items being added regularly. Happy read more
