The Roman father-god Jupiter with a handful of thunderbolts.
This fantastic public domain tobacco poster comes from the Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division. In it, we find a scantily clad Jupiter standing on a mass of clouds with a handful of lightning bolts in his right hand. The bolts are radiating in every direction like the spokes on a wheel. Falling from his left shoulder is a dismembered head.
This advertisement was published in 1868. Because of this pre-1923 publication date, this image is in the public domain.
