Welcome to my digital treasure chest, www.il-cinema-e-le-cigarette-cards.com, where collecting meets the stars of cinema! My collection of Cigarette Cards is like a celebrity sticker album, but with a touch of vintage class. These are not just simple cards; they are little masterpieces that tell the glamorous lives of Hollywood icons, both in black and white and in color, as if they were captured in time. Each card is a piece of history, an anecdote, a chapter in the life of those who made the big screen magical. They will reveal secrets and curiosities about actors and actresses, making you feel like fans who have obtained the most exclusive autograph. My selection is curated with the precision of a meticulous collector, offering a journey back in time, where glamour was authentic and collecting was an art.
“Cigarette cards, distributed in cigarette packs, depicted actors and film scenes, documenting the evolution of cinema. These cards offer a visual record of the changes in filmmaking, from silent films to talkies, while also reflecting fashion trends and the influence of cinema on popular culture.”
Thank you for visiting my website dedicated to cinema as seen through my collection of cigarette cards. Here you’ll find information on actors, films, and cinematic genres, drawn primarily from Wikipedia, the free online encyclopedia. Wikipedia is a collaborative project built on the voluntary contributions of millions of people around the world. I would like to express my gratitude to the Wisconsin Center for Film and Theater Research (WCFTR), part of the University of Wisconsin–Madison. This invaluable resource provides access to historical collections related to film and theater, including public domain periodicals. These materials have been essential to my work and continue to offer a wealth of information. A special thanks goes to Jerry Murbach, creator of the website doctormacro.com, for his remarkable work in preserving and sharing high-quality images of classic film stars. His site is a treasured resource for all cinema enthusiasts.
