A couple in period dress is shown beside an oversized tin of Murad cigarettes, the detail that sets this advertisement apart from the many tobacco images on this board. Murad was a brand of Turkish-style cigarettes marketed in the United States in the early twentieth century, when Turkish tobacco carried an aura of luxury and exoticism. Advertisers of the era often paired such products with fashionable figures to suggest sophistication, and the oversized tin here makes the package itself the centerpiece. It is worth looking closely at the styling of the clothing and the lettering, which reflect the commercial art conventions of the period.
