Sensuous Tableaux

A rather sensuous tableaux for a cigarette ad, but it was the roaring twenties after all. And besides— these are theatuh folk!

    The irony is that you could use that same sensuality in advertising today... you just can't advertise cigarettes.

    As I don't smoke, I am always surprised to see cigarettes associated with sensuality.

    Cancer sticks aside, I first saw this artist in a 1920s copy of punch and was knocked out by his effortless rendering and sensuous lines. Anyone know where I can fine albums of his work, without paying hundreds 0f dollars for original books or prints?
