About This Item
France, 1892. Very good condition. Trade card for the most successful cigarette merchant in Egypt, Nestor Gianaclis, named after the man who founded the Egyptian cigarette industry in 1871, when he set up a factory in the Khairy Pasha palace in Cairo. Gianaclis' cigarettes, made with imported Turkish tobacco, became so popular with the British officers stationed in Egypt, that the company began exporting to the UK, and eventually to Europe and the US. With gilt text and gilt highlighted chromolithographic illustrations of 9 medals (Bruxelles 1891; Paris, Calcutta, Toulon) and two crests (De S. A. le Khedive d'Egypte at the left and at the right, "Et de la Cour de S. A. le Prince Heritier de Grece). 2 7/8 x 1 1/2"
