EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "People of Europe, 1922" takes us back to a bygone era, capturing the essence and diversity of European cultures in the early 20th century. The lithograph is part of a series of cigarette cards produced by Ansties in 1925, based on photographs taken in the late 19th century. In this image, we see an array of fascinating characters from different countries. From left to right, we encounter a Spanish dancer exuding grace and passion, followed by an Austrian girl radiating innocence and charm. A Russian coachman stands tall with his traditional attire while a Turkish dancer captivates with her mesmerizing moves. The photograph also introduces us to other intriguing figures such as a young Laplander representing Northern Europe's indigenous culture and a Scottish Highlander proudly displaying his heritage. Each character showcases their unique national costume, highlighting the rich tapestry of traditions across Europe. These vintage cigarette cards were not only popular collector items but also served as sources of instruction, entertainment, and amusement before television and radio became widespread. They offered glimpses into distant lands for those who yearned for exploration or sought knowledge about diverse cultures. As we admire this snapshot frozen in time, it reminds us that despite our differences in language or customs, there is beauty in embracing diversity. It serves as a testament to the shared history and interconnectedness among European nations throughout the twentieth century.
