    Le Nil Cigarette Papers Vintage Poster by Albert Guillaume (1897)

    Step back into the vibrant streets of 1890s Paris with this classic advertising poster for Le Nil cigarette papers. Created in 1897 by the celebrated French painter and caricaturist Albert Guillaume, this artwork is a quintessential example of Belle Époque marketing and humor.

    The composition features a diagonal “ladder” of diverse social archetypes—from a high-society gentleman in a top hat and a military officer to a scholar and a common worker. This clever visual storytelling suggests that Le Nil is the universal choice for men across all walks of Parisian life. The bold text translates to: “They all say: I only smoke Le Nil.”

    With its warm orange and yellow palette, intricate green patterned background, and the whimsical, swirling smoke that forms the brand name “NIL” in the air, this print brings a touch of historical French charm and sophisticated wit to any room.
