c. 1890s; I. N. Carvalho & Co. - Philadelphia, PA
Lithographed tin advertising sign promoting La Flor De Carvalho Havana cigars, featuring an elaborate faux woodgrain background surrounding a richly detailed central portrait medallion of J. N. Carvalho framed by medals, floral motifs, and factory emblems. The sign bears the slogan, "None Genuine Without My Signature," and advertises I. N. Carvalho & Co., Makers, Philadelphia, reflecting the ornate graphic design and bold typography characteristic of premium cigar advertising during the late nineteenth century. The combination of vivid lithography, simulated wood finish, and embossed metal construction made signs such as this an effective point-of-sale advertisement for tobacconists, saloons, and cigar retailers.
