EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant piece of history from the 19th century - "Arrete sur la Vente des Cigares et du Tabac" from French Political posters of the Paris Commune in May 1871. The circular poster, filled with bold lettering and capital letters, serves as an announcement to the public about the prohibition on the sale of cigars and tobacco during this tumultuous time in France. The typography used in this artwork conveys a sense of urgency and importance, reflecting the political nature of its message. It was likely displayed prominently throughout Paris, serving as both news and propaganda for the people living under the rule of Commune de Paris. As we examine this historical object, we are transported back to a time when smoking was seen as a social activity but faced strict regulations due to political circumstances. This print provides valuable insight into how governments controlled various aspects of daily life through such announcements. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth to this art media, emphasizing its age and authenticity. Preserved by unknown creators over centuries, it now stands as a testament to France's rich history and its complex relationship with politics. This photograph is not intended for commercial use; rather it serves as an educational tool that allows us to delve into past events that shaped our world today.
