EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Biscay, from the City Flags series (N6) for Allen & Ginter Cigarettes Brands, 1887" takes us back to the vibrant streets of 19th-century Spain. The image showcases a close-up view of a traditional Basque dance performance in Biscay, one of the provinces in the Basque Country region. The lithotint technique used in this printing process beautifully captures every detail and color of this lively scene. The blue and red flags proudly wave against a backdrop that represents the metropolitan charm of Biscay. Intriguingly, both men and women participate in this energetic display of cultural heritage. A male figure stands at the forefront with an air of confidence while engaging in synchronized movements with his female partner. Their dynamic poses exude grace and elegance as they showcase their traditional dance steps. As we delve into this artwork by Allen & Ginter, we are reminded not only of its artistic value but also its historical significance. This trade card serves as a visual representation of Spanish identity and pride during that era. Displayed at The Met Museum today, it continues to captivate viewers with its rich portrayal of Spanish tradition and culture. Through this print's careful composition and attention to detail, we are transported back to a time when these vibrant dances were an integral part of daily life in Biscay province.
