"Je Ne Fume Que Le Nil" is a notable vintage advertising poster created by Italian graphic designer Leonetto Cappiello in 1912. Cappiello, often referred to as the 'father of modern advertising' for his innovative approach to poster design, was known for his vivid and exuberant style that captured the viewer's attention. The poster was commissioned to promote the "Nil" cigarette papers manufactured by the Papeteries Bolloré company.

The phrase "Je Ne Fume Que Le Nil," which translates to "I Only Smoke the Nile," is prominently featured in the artwork, suggesting exclusivity and luxury associated with the product. Cappiello's design is characterized by its bold colors and dynamic composition, which were revolutionary at the time and significantly influenced the future of advertising art.

The poster features an exotic and whimsical image of a camel, which appears to be blowing smoke rings while standing amidst a desert landscape. The camel, a symbol commonly associated with Egypt and the Nile River, serves as a clever visual pun to reinforce the brand name and the product's supposed Egyptian origins, which were popular themes in the Orientalist trends of the time.

"Je Ne Fume Que Le Nil" is considered a classic example of early 20th-century advertising and is highly regarded for its artistic quality and historical significance in the evolution of graphic design and marketing. The poster remains a sought-after collector's item and is often cited in discussions of Cappiello's influential work and the broader context of advertising history.
