Camel's magazine advertising from the early twentieth century often borrowed the look of upper-class leisure, and this piece pairs the brand with horse show hunters, riders in formal pink coats and polished boots who competed over fences at elegant equestrian events. The picture is a printed advertisement, so its real subject is the cigarette itself: tobacco makers of the period tied their products to health, sport and social polish, trying to make smoking seem like part of a refined way of life. Worth noticing is how the ad uses the horse world's prestige to lend credibility to a habit that was not yet viewed with the suspicion it later received.
