EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph captures the majestic Steamship Parisian, a proud vessel of the Allan Line. Part of the renowned Ocean and River Steamers series, this 19th-century print was commissioned by Duke brand cigarettes in 1887. In this exquisite artwork, we see the grand steamship sailing gracefully across the waters with its billowing smokestacks releasing plumes of white smoke into the sky. The ship's elegant design is complemented by an array of colorful flags fluttering proudly in the wind, representing both France and America. The scene also features a group of women on board, symbolizing progress and freedom as they enjoy their cigarettes – a testament to changing societal norms during that era. This image beautifully encapsulates not only technological advancements but also cultural shifts in industrialized America. With meticulous attention to detail and rich colors, this lithograph showcases the skillful craftsmanship that went into creating such collectible cigarette cards. It serves as a reminder of an era when smoking was seen as glamorous and ships like these played a vital role in transportation and trade between nations. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece allows us to appreciate both its artistic merit and historical significance within America's shipping industry during the late 19th century.
