Western antique floral fabric upright photo frame-3 pieces

The museum offers a small upright picture frame with a silk floral frame, or more precisely, a silk tobacco card produced in the 1930s. In the past, as a child, it was common to see some snacks in supermarkets with promotions that included collectible limited edition cards or stickers. Unexpectedly, the predecessor of this event can be traced back to the early 1900s, when tobacco companies began to use a sales strategy with collectible cards. The themes of "Cigarette Cards" are all-encompassing, whether it is actresses, clothing, sports, flowers and plants, etc., and you can also get a glimpse of the humorous remarks and cultural hobbies that were popular at the time. Cigarette cards are issued in paper, metal, textile and other materials. After the advent of fabric cigarette cards, tobacco companies also encouraged women to collect such exquisite textiles from their spouses or friends and use them to make fabrics for home furnishings. The English name of silk cigarette card uses the word "silk", but in fact it should be made of a variety of fabrics, such as silk, satin, cotton, plain woven cloth and other materials. We use the word "silk" to directly translate . The history of silk cigarette cards can also be found on the official website of the Princeton University Museum. Our collection of silk floral cigarette cards, issued by London tobacco manufacturer J.Wix & Sons in 1934-35, features pink lupins, tulips and nasturtiums. During the collection process of these old pieces, the former collector mounted them in upright photo frames and placed them as home furnishings. Therefore, they appear in this form and are quite small, delicate and cute collections.
