EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the grandeur of the Steamship City of New York, belonging to the esteemed Inman Line. Produced in 1887 as part of a series for Duke brand cigarettes, this print showcases the pinnacle of 19th-century American shipping industry. The majestic steamship takes center stage, its colossal size emphasized by the surrounding water and sky. The meticulously detailed lithograph highlights every intricate feature of this technological marvel, from its towering smokestacks to its elegant flag fluttering proudly in the wind. The ship's name is boldly displayed on its side, leaving no doubt about its identity. Amidst this industrial scene stands a woman, representing both beauty and strength. Her presence adds a human touch to an otherwise mechanical world dominated by men. She gazes out towards the horizon with determination and confidence, symbolizing America's pioneering spirit during that era. In addition to celebrating American ingenuity and progress, this artwork also serves as a collectible cigarette card – a testament to Duke Sons & Co. 's marketing prowess at that time. Now housed within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, it continues to captivate viewers with its vivid colors and historical significance. As we admire this stunning piece from our past, let us reflect on how transportation has shaped our nation's history while appreciating those who paved the way for modern advancements in technology and industry
