EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "War Signals". Cigar Box Label, created in 1898 by the American School, takes us back to a significant era in history. This vibrant colour lithograph, now part of the esteemed collection at the New-York Historical Society, USA, showcases the exceptional craftsmanship of the American Lithographic Co. In this artwork, we witness a dramatic scene unfolding on the high seas. A fleet of majestic warships sails through tumultuous waters as billowing smoke rises from their mighty cannons. The flags flutter proudly atop each vessel, representing different nations engaged in battle. The artist skillfully captures both the power and vulnerability inherent in warfare. The turbulent ocean serves as a metaphor for the chaos and uncertainty that accompany conflicts while emphasizing its vastness and unforgiving nature. Each ship is meticulously detailed with intricate engravings that highlight their strength and resilience. This print not only celebrates naval warfare but also pays homage to cigar box labels' artistic significance during this period. It seamlessly combines elements of commercial design with fine art aesthetics. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing composition, we are transported back to an era where battles were fought on water rather than land. "War Signals" invites us to reflect on our past and appreciate both the beauty and complexity found within historical artifacts like cigar box labels – reminders of our shared human experience throughout time.
