Virginia Slims Herstory Napoleon Uniform Print Ad 1991 1990s (2 pgs)
A dramatic two-page 1991 Virginia Slims ad reimagines history with a model dressed as a female Napoleon-style general, cigarette in hand, posed inside an ornate, gilded-frame study under the line "Ever wonder where we'd be if history had been herstory?" This piece was carefully removed from a magazine as a two-page spread, so the image may not line up exact. The elaborate military costume and antique-frame border give the ad a theatrical, historical-fantasy twist on Virginia Slims' long-running "You've come a long way, baby" campaign.
- Model dressed in an elaborate gold-trimmed Napoleon-style military uniform
- Ornate gilded picture-frame border gives the spread a theatrical, painted look
- Clever "herstory" wordplay ties into Virginia Slims' signature slogan
- Rich, dimly lit study setting adds to the historical-fantasy mood
- A striking pull for Virginia Slims or theatrical/costume advertising collectors
- Measure approximately 8 x 11 inches per page
