Where the first pic showed Austrian WWI soldiers with a crate of ciggies, some additional info.
Since the Austrian / Habsburgian Empire took over Bosnia & Hercegowina in 1878, they incorporated the Ottoman sword into the offical Coat of Arms of Bosnia & Hercegovina. As the tobaaco of the Hercegovina ( Herzegovina Flor) was one of the best, the exploitation went without saying very well... Hereby some brands with some fancy "Orientalism" display or lay out (obviously for commercial reasons...) Last edited by gp; 25th May 2024 at 10:28 PM. |
