This rectangular box features a detailed visual inspired by English fox hunting scenes: at the center, a rider in a red jacket rides a white horse, surrounded by several hunting dogs. To the left, a crouched figure and several dogs complete the scene, while in the background, other riders are visible in an autumnal country landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface of the tin features warm tones: dominant browns, beiges, and greens for the landscape, enhanced by the bright red of the main rider's attire. The inscription \"RITMEESTER\" is printed in capital letters in the bottom left. The realistic-style design is inspired by 19th-century engravings and paintings, typical of the traditional imagery found on 20th-century advertising tobacco tins.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tin is elongated, with rounded corners and a slightly raised rim. The lid's finish has a shiny, patinated appearance, showing slight signs of wear, mainly visible on the bottom right where a lighter area suggests a loss of material or printing. Some micro-scratches and marks are also noticeable across the entire visible surface, consistent with previous use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe precise and meticulous figurative design highlights the world of the Ritmeester brand, known for its cigars and illustrated tins. No other text or logo is visible on the displayed side, apart from the brand name. The edge of the tin is outlined with a dark border.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe tin is photographed on a wooden piece of furniture, which allows for a good appreciation of the illustration's finesse and the overall graphic quality. No elements of the interior, bottom, or back are visible or described here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition\u003c\/b\u003e: Used item, sold as is.
