A dog holds a cigar in its mouth while sitting beside a stack of cigar boxes, a playful pairing that makes the joke the point of the picture. Staged scenes like this were popular in the late 1800s and early 1900s, when studio photographers and postcard makers often dressed animals in human roles for amusement. Cigar boxes were also familiar advertising props of the period, so the image doubles as a glimpse of how tobacco was marketed. Look closely at the dog's posture and the arrangement of the boxes, which suggest a carefully composed studio setup rather than a candid snapshot.
