What it is
An early poster for Nordhäuser chewing tobacco made by Grimm & Triepel of Nordhausen, founded 1849, printed by C.T. Wiskott of Breslau in 1895; 39 by 67 cm.
Why it matters
Chewing tobacco suited trades where an open flame was a danger, mining and seafaring among them, and the poster speaks to miners and masons by name.
What to notice
The trades themselves are the picture: the buyers, not a model.
A poster that knew exactly who its customer was.
