Printed in 1910-1915, this early-20th-century artwork depicts a voluptuous woman swooning in the arms of a chivalrous man on horseback, while her dog interacts with the gentleman's horse. They are flanked by five gold medallions. Below the scene, 'La Balca Pure Havana Cigars' ensures us that these Cuban cigars are the real deal. Printed by the Calvert Lithography Company in Detroit, Michigan, which was founded in 1863. See less
