USA: 'The Fragrance of Pipe Tobacco Makes Me Wish I Were a Man'. Advertisement for Tuxedo brand pipe tobacco, American Tobacco Company,1928

A strikingly 'politically incorrect' advertisment from the 1920s that manages to combine chauvinism with big tobacco interests - a sign of the (then) times.<br/><br/>. The shadow of the man behind the woman is illustrating that the woman wants to be a man so she can smoke fragrant pipe tobacco. She looks down and sad while maybe wishing she really was a man because it is not acceptable for a woman to smoke pipe tobacco in the 1920s.
