Description
Marie-Joseph Paul Yves Roch Gilbert du Motier, Marquis de Lafayette; 6 September 1757 – 20 May 1834), in the U.S. often known simply as Lafayette, was a French aristocrat and military officer who fought in the American Revolutionary War. A close friend of George Washington, Alexander Hamilton, and Thomas Jefferson, Lafayette was a key figure in the French Revolution of 1789 and the July Revolution of 1830. In the early 20th century, tobacco was in great demand. Many companies issued products, like cigars, into the marketplace. To differentiate their brand, they hired artists to design fancy labels for the boxes and the cigars themselves. Many names were also given to these brands and often these names were take from current events, history, or people. This label is an example of the art of the period.
