A testimonial ad: the brand has found someone to say the thing it would otherwise have to say about itself.

This original 1979 Vantage page features a male model and was published in Ebony. It’s a useful piece for collectors of vintage advertising or people interested in the mechanics of a sales pitch. The personal-endorsement format is the point of interest, with the tobacco company’s claims kept firmly in their historical context.

THE DETAILS:

• Original period magazine page, sold unframed.
• Approximate size: 9.75 × 13 inches.
• Approximate date: 1979.

Condition: Good vintage condition with age-appropriate toning and light edge or surface wear. Please inspect the photo carefully; the exact item pictured is the item you will receive.

I carefully trim each page, place it in a protective sleeve with a sturdy backing board, and pack it with bubble wrap in a sturdy box. You’ll receive the original page shown in the photos, not a reproduction.

Framing: Vintage magazine sizes vary. Use the measurement-mat photo as a size reference, and choose a larger frame with a mat cut to fit this particular page.

I white-balance the photos to show the original colors as accurately as possible. Colors can still vary with your screen settings.
