Early 20th-century single-sided porcelain enamel advertising sign for Between the Acts Little Cigars, a brand produced under The American Tobacco Co. of Durham, North Carolina. The sign features bold black and red typography against a white ground with the period advertising text "Between the Acts Little Cigars" and "10¢ for 10."
The graphic design incorporates an illustrated package of Between the Acts Little Cigars alongside the silhouette of a formally dressed gentleman in a top hat seated in a bright red upholstered armchair while smoking. Black and red linear borders frame the composition. The porcelain enamel surface and prominent mounting holes reflect its original use as a durable commercial advertising sign.
