Condition A-: minor tears and losses at edges; vertical fold; ink notation on verso showing through. Paper.
As smoking became more and more prevalent, smoking accessories also became the subject of
advertising; this “cigar ring pin” was basically a roach clip for men smoking in the office. Note the
slight whiff of Art Nouveau stylization in the handling of the smoke and how the motif is reflected in
the poster’s borders. Denscher p. 138.

Rehmwas one of the few German artists represented
in the
Maitres de l’Affiche
. This image of “Der
Kenner” [“the Connoisseur”], was a prize-winning
design in a poster competition sponsored by the
Leipzig-based printing house, Grimme & Hempel.
This image resonated throughout the advertising
community, as can be seen in the manner in which
it was copied, even in its own time (see lot 219).
Maitres pl. 124, Maitres 1900 p. 172, DFP-III 2637,
