A rigid cardboard box for "Maaneklips" cigarettes, decorated with a lithographed image of a moonlit face smoking above a landscape of windmills—typical iconography of early 20th-century tobacco advertising. The printed interior mentions the Stanislas Manendonckx factory, located in Geel and Arendonk (Antwerp), with bilingual French-Dutch text, characteristic of Belgian products of this period.
