The image was taken by a Victorian collector who was a photographer in London.
He worked for various tobacco companies and this photograph was taken during one of the most active
phases which he added to his archive. I still have many original memos which commissioned his work.
To prove provenance of image I will also include a photocopy of original telegram dated May 12th 1926
from The Imperial Tobacco Company requesting "Contact" images of the tobacco display from the photographer William Whiffin of East London.
I have many similar images on EBAY depicting other tobacco products.
