EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color lithograph from 1888 showcases the iconic American engineer and inventor, Robert Fulton. Part of the Great Americans series commissioned by Duke brand cigarettes, this collectible cigarette card captures Fulton's pioneering spirit and contribution to transportation in the United States during the 19th century. In this portrait, Fulton stands confidently against a backdrop of paddle steamers on a bustling river. His determined gaze reflects his innovative mind and unwavering dedication to engineering. As one of America's most influential figures in water transport, Fulton revolutionized steamship technology with his invention of the first commercially successful steamboat. The artist skillfully portrays Fulton as a distinguished gentleman, emphasizing his status as an esteemed figure in American history. The chromolithograph technique used for this print adds depth and richness to every detail, enhancing its visual appeal. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork serves as a testament to both Fulton's legacy and the artistic talent that went into producing these cigarette cards. It is a captivating glimpse into America's industrial past and reminds us of the significant advancements made during that era. As we admire this remarkable piece from Heritage Images, let it serve as an inspiration to embrace innovation and celebrate those who have shaped our world through their ingenuity and determination.
