EDITORS COMMENTS
This 19th-century lithograph, titled "Chrysanthemum: Resignation" is part of the series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers by Donaldson Brothers. Created in 1892 for Duke brand cigarettes, this print showcases the exquisite beauty and symbolic meaning behind chrysanthemums. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the delicate petals of these flowers, capturing their essence with remarkable precision. Chrysanthemums have long been associated with resignation or acceptance in the language of flowers, making them an intriguing choice for this artwork. Commissioned by James Buchanan Duke, a prominent figure in American tobacco history, this print represents not only his company but also reflects the Victorian era's fascination with floral symbolism. The image serves as a collectible cigarette card that was included within packs of Duke brand cigarettes during that time. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this lithograph stands as a testament to both artistic excellence and industrial innovation. It reminds us of America's rich heritage in tobacco production while showcasing nature's inherent beauty through meticulous lithography techniques. As we admire this stunning piece from Heritage Images' collection, let us appreciate how art can transcend its commercial origins and become an enduring symbol of cultural significance.
