Subject: Advertising--Cigarettes

Color-printed silk flag depicting "Zion," the Jewish flag, and a bar of Hatikvah, with an advertisement for Zira cigarettes. The flag likely dates from around the turn of the 20th century, given the imagery and the mention of Hatikvah, which was adopted as the national anthem of Israel in 1948. The inclusion of the Zira cigarette advertisement provides further context of the material culture of the period. The item is part of Ms. Coll. 1410, located in Box 6, Folder 102.
