描述

《彈棉花》選自《煙畫三百六十行》,是附在香煙包裡的贈品畫片,盛行於一九五〇年之前。
師傅將收回的舊棉絮攤於案上,背後支起大竹弓子,以其弦反覆彈軋棉絮使其膨鬆均勻、壓平,
最後以線網罩之,做成被、褥套。整舊如新,惜物愛物。
Much like baseball cards, cigarette cards were issued by tobacco manufacturers in China during the 1920s~1950s to promote cigarette brands. Subject matters ranged from beautiful women, Western curios, Peking opera, etc. One favorite theme was the “360 trades”, which is an expression used to mean all trades. This particular cigarette card depicts a cotton fluffing shop. In China the cotton used to fill all beddings were fluffed by a bow like instrument to make them extra soft and comfortable.
