Hi everyone,

I wonder if anyone can help me with some information about this print I have.

It was given to me by my Grandad years ago and he had had it awhile.

I have looked on the internet and cannot find anything!!

I would appreciate any help

Thanks in advance.

My guess would be some kind of advertising for pipe smoking. Possibly by one of the big brands of pipe tobacco. Smoking wasn't as frowned upon in the past. The clue to dating it would be that pipe. It would have come in at some date. Date the pipe and you will get a clue to how old it is.

Thanks for that info,any ideas of early tobacco companies there were years ago or dates the poster may have been made?

It really is a mystery.

A similar photo from an original in the National Archives.

Bizarre!
