This early 20th century commercial wall art piece takes the form of a framed cardboard Will's Capstan cigarette advertisement dating to 1930. The composition depicts a steam trawler navigating rough seas with white foam, accompanied by printed typography in blue and off-white reading 'Have a Capstan - they're made to the highest standard'. The scene includes a dark sail on the vessel, a reddish-orange cabin with a black and red chimney, and grey smoke rising against a pale sky. The printed cardboard artwork is housed within a dark wooden frame under glass. Measuring 50 cm in height and 70 cm in width, the advertisement suits display on a narrow wall space within a gentleman's library, hallway, or study. The original frame shows signs of age with surface wear on the dark timber moulding. The piece originates from the contents sale of the Lord Nelson Pub in Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk, held at auction in 1993.

FAQs

Commercial tobacco advertising expanded rapidly in the early to mid-twentieth century, utilising colour lithography on cardboard and paper to market brands in shops and public houses. Companies frequently used themed artwork, such as maritime imagery, to evoke reliability and tradition.

These pieces were typically printed on heavy cardstock or paper using offset lithography or chromolithography techniques. They were then mounted behind glass within simple dark-stained softwood or hardwood mouldings for display.

Authentic period prints display characteristic age-related discolouration, dot-matrix halftone patterns under magnification, and period-specific typography. Original backing boards and authentic timber frames often exhibit natural wood shrinkage and oxidisation.

Framed commercial art functions effectively as a focal point in a study, hallway, or home bar setting. Pair the print with mid-century dark timber furniture or leather upholstery to complement its period character.

Display the artwork away from direct sunlight and heat sources to prevent fading and paper brittleness. Maintain stable atmospheric humidity to prevent the cardboard backing from warping or developing mildew.
