Description

A rare beautifully illustrated catalogue with tobacco products was made by an Austrian Tobacco Direction, to present items from their official tobacco factories in Fürstenfeld, Linz, Hainburg, Schwaz, Hallein, Stein, Klagenfurt and two in Vienna. The illustrations showcase cigars, cigarettes, boxes, tobacco, and cigarette paper. The accompanying text describes the products. The photographs on the last pages show the Tobacco Direction and some of the factories.

The illustrations were made by an Austrian artist Franz von Zülow (1883 – 1963), who was known for his paintings and book illustrations.

We could only find three institutional examples (Austrian National Library, New York Public Library and Centre canadien d’architecture).
