About this work

Description

The cigarettes are lettered showing their brands, the vertical one being Pegas(us) from the Dukat factory, Moscow, numbered "6" near the filter, and the horizontal one being the slightly more expensive Java (I︠A︡va) brand, numbered "11" at the ash end. Java was the first Russian cigarette to be sold with a filter. The inclusion of the brand-names is unusual in anti-smoking propaganda
