The Story Behind the Print
This elegant Cigarettes Matossian poster captures the sophisticated world of early 20th century French tobacco advertising, when cigarette brands competed through artistic excellence rather than health claims. The design showcases the refined aesthetic of Belle Époque commercial art, with its striking typography and luxurious visual appeal that promised consumers entry into a world of Parisian elegance.
Created during France's golden age of poster art, this advertisement reflects an era when smoking was considered fashionable and refined. The Matossian brand, like many tobacco companies of the time, commissioned talented commercial artists to create these miniature masterpieces that would catch the eye of passersby on Parisian boulevards. The poster's sophisticated design language speaks to the artistic standards that made French advertising art internationally celebrated.
Printed on 325gsm museum-grade archival matte paper using premium giclée printing with archival inks, ensuring this vintage poster 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.

Customer notes
From our collectors
“I ordered two prints from Paola and it was a pleasure working with her. She went above and beyond by actually tracking down prints for me that she didn't have listed on the site at the time. The prints arrived in pristine condition, were exactly as shown in the photos and great quality. Would recommend to everyone.”
“Purchased as a Christmas gift for my husband, and he loved it. It was exactly what he wanted. The item shipped fast. The seller was able to get my order to me before Christmas, even though I just ordered a week before. It's a beautiful map, quality item. Would buy from this seller again!”
