EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph, titled "Steamship Chateau Lafitte, Bordeaux Line" is part of the iconic Ocean and River Steamers series produced by Duke brand cigarettes in 1887. The image showcases a magnificent steamship sailing through the waters with grace and elegance. The ship's grandeur is emphasized by its prominent position in the center of the composition, towering over the surrounding waves. Its pristine white exterior contrasts beautifully against the deep blue sea, creating a visually striking scene. A sense of national pride is conveyed through the presence of multiple flags fluttering proudly from various points on board. These flags symbolize both American patriotism and international trade connections. Intriguingly, amidst this industrial marvel stands a woman on deck, representing women's increasing participation in society during that era. Her presence adds an element of human interest to an otherwise mechanical setting. This lithograph not only serves as an advertisement for Duke brand cigarettes but also captures a moment in time when steamships revolutionized transportation and facilitated global trade. It reflects America's growing influence as an industrial powerhouse during the late 19th century. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print offers us a glimpse into history - reminding us of our nation's maritime heritage and technological advancements that shaped our modern world.
