Cigarette advertising
I know none of us smoke any more (ahem), but these adverts are therefore particularly indicative of times gone. We especially like the idea that Craven 'A' cigarettes do not harm your throat.
PLEASE NOTE:
The pictures are not proportionately sized, so please check the measurements given.
Mount colour is as accurate as possible, but of course may show up differently on different computers.
Picture size is approximate, though overall mount size is pretty accurate. Any noticeable marks or creases are noted in the description.
Those marked with *VM are not currently physically mounted. We have suggested a suitable colour, but we will mount in a colour to suit you (within reason!). Please use our order/enquire form to request this and for any other queries.
Please note the print number before clicking or use the "Add to Cart" button on the items below.
