“More Doctors Smoke Camels.” An excellent reminder to read the advertisement before taking anyone’s advice.

This original 1950s Camel page belongs to one of tobacco advertising’s more eyebrow-raising campaigns. The interest is the sales tactic itself: put medical authority near the product and hope the reader does the rest. A fascinating piece for an advertising-history collection. The old claim stays firmly in quotation marks; this page is something to examine, not a recommendation to follow.

THE DETAILS:

• Original period magazine page, sold unframed.
• Approximate size: 9.25 × 12.75 inches.
• Approximate date: 1950s.

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.
