In the late 19th century, specifically in 1875, tobacco companies in the United States emerged as a significant commercial force. Their marketing strategies, which featured enticing offerings such as original silk cards and embroidered items, captivated consumers and effectively encouraged the purchase of their products. This innovative approach was subsequently adopted by other countries, ultimately leading to a global phenomenon. Fortunately, these silk cards and embroideries now serve as artefacts of national history, representing a period that has evolved beyond its association with a harmful habit. Today, they are regarded as authentic and remarkable artworks worthy of preservation. Furthermore, we contend that these collectibles and rare items embody environmental sustainability, being genuinely unique and worthy of appreciation.
