The Story Behind the Print
This striking Cigares Quo Vadis poster captures the sophisticated world of early 20th century French tobacco advertising. Created during the golden age of commercial poster art, it showcases the refined aesthetic that made French cigarette brands synonymous with elegance and style.
The composition demonstrates the artistic evolution of vintage advertisement art, where commercial design transcended mere product promotion to become genuine artistic expression. French poster artists of this era elevated tobacco advertising into an art form, creating works that were as likely to grace gallery walls as shop windows.
"Quo Vadis" — Latin for "where are you going" — suggests the brand's appeal to the cultured, worldly smoker of the Belle Époque period. This historic poster print represents a fascinating intersection of commercial art and cultural sophistication that defined French advertising design.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using professional giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring your vintage wall art will maintain its rich colors and fine details for generations.
Colors may vary slightly between screens and the finished piece — the print will always be richer.
About the Frame
Framed pieces are built to order in solid wood with a 1.125 inch face, glazed in crystal-clear acrylic, and finished with a kraft paper dust cover and hanging wire. Your print is dry mounted so it stays perfectly flat for decades. Each framed piece arrives ready to hang.
The frame adds roughly 1.75 inches to each side of the print size you select. Framed orders are custom made and ship within 7 to 10 business days, free in the U.S. See our shipping and return policies for framed piece details.
