Description: Rare Antique Vintage Vieux Courcelles Embossed Cigar Label, 1900s - 1920s10 1/4" x 6 1/4" ~Gran Marca Esquisitos I thought would mean Large something exquisite but according to my assistant Google translate it means "big brand weird" in Portuguese. And Vieux means old in French as far as I know and Courcelles is an area in France so this is interesting on many levels. This has very minor corner wear. Doubt if you would see it in a frame but please see picture and judge for yourself. Amazing Gold embossed label. Most companies at the time used real gold flakes in the embossing.Imagine hanging this over 100-year-old antique advertising on your wall as home decor in any room!Cigar labels show you what antique advertising is all about with the wonderful graphics that Lithography provided that modern printing just can't reproduce. This was a lost art after the 1920s unfortunately.My pictures seriously don't do it justice. These had to be done on heavy paper stock which makes them stay vibrant and new looking for a long time.Most of these artists were very good but desperate for work during that era and got paid very little and received no recognition for their work. Unfortunately, the majority of these artists will remain unknown but we can keep their art alive forever.
