Marigold - Disdain, a Captivating Snapshot of Victorian America's Tobacco Industry
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 19th-century color lithograph print titled "Marigold: Disdain" is part of the renowned series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers (N75) commissioned by Duke brand cigarettes in 1892. Created by the esteemed Donaldson Brothers, this exquisite artwork offers a glimpse into the rich heritage of American tobacco production during that era. The image showcases a disdainful female figure surrounded by vibrant marigolds, symbolizing her contemptuous attitude towards societal norms. The carefully crafted lithography technique brings out the intricate details and vivid colors, making it an exceptional collectible piece. During this time period, James Buchanan Duke played a pivotal role in shaping the American tobacco industry through his company W. Duke Sons & Co. , which later became known as the American Tobacco Company. This print not only reflects on Duke's influence but also highlights how flowers were used to convey hidden messages within society. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this lithotint serves as a visual testament to America's industrial prowess and artistic achievements in commercial artistry. It transports us back to an era when cigarette cards were highly sought-after collectibles among enthusiasts. With its historical significance and aesthetic appeal, "Marigold: Disdain" stands as a remarkable representation of both artistic craftsmanship and cultural context from 19th-century America.
