EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the grandeur of the Steamship Hekla, belonging to the renowned Thingvalla Line. Produced in 1887 as part of a promotional series for Duke brand cigarettes, this print showcases the impressive industrial advancements in America during the 19th century. The Steamship Hekla dominates the scene with its towering smokestacks and elegant design, proudly sailing through American waters. The ship's banner flutters in the wind, displaying both American and unknown flags, symbolizing its importance in international trade. Amidst this bustling maritime setting stands a confident woman, representing progress and empowerment. She epitomizes women's growing role in society at that time while also highlighting their presence within traditionally male-dominated industries such as shipping. The lithograph's vivid colors bring to life every detail of this historical moment - from the shimmering water beneath the vessel to the billowing clouds above. It serves as a testament to both artistic skill and technological advancement. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this collectible cigarette card offers us a glimpse into America's rich heritage and transportation history. As we admire this remarkable artwork today, it reminds us of how far we have come while honoring those who contributed to shaping our nation's past.
