A lithographed tin advertising showcard featuring a pale yellow ground. Lettering in black cursive script reads Peter Jackson above Virginia Cigarettes, with the slogan Packed In Natural Wood to the base. A central printed graphic depicts a wooden cigarette tin with a red seal and PJ monogram. The tin-plate front is secured with crimped metal edges to a cardboard backing fitted with a fold-out easel stand and a green hanging string. A small adhesive provenance label to the reverse reads the Gwyn Brondyffryn Collection alongside a red Welsh dragon. 9.75 inches by 6 inches.


Condition report:

The lithographed front shows light surface wear and minor foxing, particularly along the upper and lower edges (photo 1). The colours remain bright with no significant fading.
