Advertising posters in the Russian Empire
No comments · Posted by Sergei Rzhevsky in Art, History
From the turn of the 19th-20th centuries, advertising posters began to quickly gain popularity in the Russian Empire. Artists often depicted scenes from fairy tales. The first advertising posters used the element of hyperbole, exaggerating the properties of the advertised product.
Despite the fact that there was significant economic growth in the Russian Empire at that time, it did not cause an increase in the purchasing power of the majority of the population (peasants). Most of the advertising targeted the rapidly emerging Russian bourgeoisie. Source.

Advertising posters were placed in many places: in shop windows and walls, on street poles, fences, public transport, cars, trucks, balloons, dirigibles, etc. Here are some of these posters, mainly advertising products of the tobacco industry.
