EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant 19th-century color lithograph captures the majestic Steamship Norseman, a proud vessel of the Warren Line. Part of the Ocean and River Steamers series, this print was originally created as a collectible cigarette card for Duke brand cigarettes in 1887. The image showcases the industrial prowess of America during this era, highlighting the country's booming shipping industry. The steamship stands tall against a backdrop of blue waters and billowing white clouds, its impressive size emphasized by the inclusion of people on deck. A woman in traditional attire gazes out towards the horizon, symbolizing both adventure and progress. The American flag proudly flutters atop one of the ship's masts, representing national pride and unity. This chromolithograph serves as a visual testament to America's growing dominance in water transport during that time. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork is an important part of our heritage. It not only celebrates technological advancements but also sheds light on societal norms with its portrayal of women in historically significant roles. As we admire this stunning piece from an unknown artist, we are transported back to a pivotal moment in history when steamships like Norseman played a vital role in shaping America's transportation landscape.
