The following ad for Fatima Cigarettes appeared on the back cover of a Minneapolis Tribune Sunday Magazine for 1914. It features the work of W. Smithson Broadhead (1880-1960), a fine British sporting illustrator of the day more noted for his horse racing paintings than his angling ones. It's a nifty piece nearly a century old, however, and is an excellent reminder of the days when great illustrators and painters could make a living wage painting sporting covers and adverts.
