DESCRIPTION:Large 50x73cm (28"x19" (inches)) vintage advertising sign from the 1960s, from the infamous Belgian cigarette brand, TIGRA.

These cigarettes were roughly only known and smoked in and around the area of the cities of Brussels- Ghent, Bruges and Antwerp (which actually is, the whole of Belgium XD) The campaign for Tigra was drawn by famous American Pin-up artist Al Moore. The story of the beautiful and friendly looking lady depicted, Angelina Saey, is a sad one. Especially in Antwerp, Angelina was from Antwerp and lived there, everybody still knows her, and she is still is a local hero. Back in the sixties, I've heard and read, a lot were deeply love with her, and happily bought the packages of cigarettes, with Angelina on them, portraying all her 1960s charm. CONDITION:It's USED and 60+ YEARS OLD. it has a VERY NICE PATINA, and is overall in a good condition, for it's age. ORIGINAL condition. NOT... lees verder bij Catawiki
