EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolithograph captures the majestic Steamship America, a proud vessel of the National Line, in all its glory. Part of the iconic Ocean and River Steamers series by Duke brand cigarettes, this print from 1887 showcases the beauty and power of American shipping industry during the 19th century. The steamship stands tall against a backdrop of blue waters and clear skies, proudly displaying the stars and stripes flag that symbolizes American pride. The ship's elegant design is complemented by its billowing smokestacks, which emit plumes of white steam into the air. A group of women can be seen on deck, adding a touch of femininity to this industrial scene. As an exquisite example of commercial color lithography, this collectible cigarette card was produced by W. Duke Sons & Co. , known for their high-quality tobacco products. Today, it resides in The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their esteemed collection. This artwork not only celebrates America's rich maritime heritage but also serves as a testament to the advancements made in transportation during that era. It reminds us how ships like Steamship America played a vital role in connecting people across vast distances and facilitating trade between nations. With its vivid colors and attention to detail, this lithograph invites viewers to step back in time and appreciate both the artistry involved in creating such prints as well as the historical significance they hold within our cultural landscape.
