THREE VERY VINTAGE ADS FROM CHINA:

VINTAGE British American Tobacco Poster/for China
First item is a vintage poster advertising Hatamen Cigarettes; manufactured by the British American Tobacco Co. This poster is probably from sometime between 1920-1940. Poster depicts three Chinese men, enjoying the Hatamen Cigarette. Poster measures 29" x 20 5/8". There is some wear on poster edges. Poster has a few light creases, minor yellowing. Top and bottom edge have a metal strip to reinforce edge. Great vintage advertising poster, rare and collectible!

Second poster is marked GANDE, PRICE & CO.,LTD - Wines, Spirits & Cigars. St. Georges Building. Ice House Street, Hong Kong. Depicts a beautiful woman enjoying various beverages including HAIG Whiskey and Moët (Moet) & Chandon Champagne. Year on the bottle is 1921 so we assume this poster is from that year. Also has TAYLORS London Dry Gin bottle and various wine bottles including MARTELL.

THIRD poster is a Chinese advertising poster from the 30's in Shanghai (time where parts of Shanghai were occupied by foreign concession and Western cultural influence was important). Glossy paper.
This is an advertising from The Central Agency Fabrics Company, a Scotland company from Glasgow. A beautif women , wearing a chinese tunique with flowers, is sitting in a carved chair. Each arm-rest represents a dragon. In the background, we can see a traditional chinese window. Metal bar across bottom of poster is starting to come off the poster. These are typically removed during modern framing anyway. Notice poster is printed by VEE LOO ADVERTISING Co.
