Vintage 1988 Absolut Rosebud Vodka Print Advertisement — Original Citizen Kane Sled Original Ad
Approximately 9 x 12 inches.
This vintage 1988 Absolut Vodka magazine advertisement delivers one of the brand's most ingeniously conceived concepts: the legendary 'Rosebud' sled from Orson Welles' Citizen Kane, its wooden planks carved into the unmistakable silhouette of the Absolut bottle, surrounded by a cavernous warehouse of antiques and curiosities. Licensed by the Estate of Orson Welles and photographed by Steve Bronstein, this original print ad merges cinema history with the golden era of conceptual advertising. A standout collectible ad for both spirits enthusiasts and classic film devotees, the 'Absolut Rosebud' campaign entry remains among the most coveted in the iconic Absolut series.
