This Original Vintage Poster is an advertisement for the Swiss Cigar company, Hediger & Co., promoting their Indiana Stumpen cigar. This bold image features an Indian chief with rich coloring and details. The company was founded in 1889 and remained in business until 1970. Native American imagery has long been associated with tobacco as it was the New World's gift to Europe.
This image is a fine example of Sachplakat, or Swiss object posters. It was printed using stone-lithography along with the precise technique and top-quality inks the Swiss are known for.
This poster was designed by Johannes "Hans" Handschin (1899-1948), a well-known and highly-collected Swiss Impressionist & Modern artist. Handschin’s body of work centered mostly on advertisements and tourism. He was a noted leader of the Basel Graphic art movement. His works are free from ornamentation and focus on flawless printing and rich color palettes.
The poster is mounted on heavy card stock, as it was intended to hang on the wall of a bar, restaurant, or liquor store. It is in excellent condition.
This is an Original Vintage Poster; it is not a reproduction. We guarantee the authenticity of all of our posters.

If there's anything you want to know about posters, vintage or more modern, there's nothing Mr Ross doesn't know. His open and friendly manner helps one to choose the most suitable material whether for decoration, investment or whatever... I can't recommend him highly enough.

Just wanted to say thanks for the poster. You sent it on Thursday and it was delivered the following Monday (nearly quicker than it took us to get home) to our house in Perth, Australia. We have just had it framed. We love it; it goes perfectly with the room.

The Ross Gallery has the best selection of vintage posters I have ever seen. Seriously, if you are in the market, they are the people. And, they know everything there is to know about the posters' provenance.
