Retrospective of a cigarette pack
Typography, heraldry, graphics and seals - how to change the design of a cigarette package in the last hundred years.
Ancestors of modern cigarettes have been known for at least half a millennium ago, before the discovery of North America, Columbus met on an island in the Caribbean Indian smoker wrapped in a corn leaf tobacco. But the mass distribution of cigarettes received only at the end of the 19th century, when the machine was invented to make them. The first cigarette factory was built in London, most of those same old brands that are common today, are Marlboro and Camel - the two "Americans." The first well-known brands on the Russian market (before the revolution) became cigarettes "Java" and "Flor Herzegovina", issued in Moscow, and quickly gained their popularity - particularly in their campaign involved Mayakovsky. The current appearance of cigarettes taken only in the middle of the last century, when the British brand Kent began releasing them to the filter.
But we are more interested in the history of cigarette packs. In the past, except that the packs were more like matchboxes, however, and now in Europe, you can buy religious leftist Gitanes cigarettes in their original packaging, and in the former Soviet Union such misoneism hold cigarettes "Prima" and "White Sea Canal." Basically the materials from which they were made initially popular, and now it is, primarily, cardboard and paper, as well as different types of wood and tin.
