This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph print showcases the majestic Steamship State of Indiana, a true icon of the 19th-century American shipping industry. Produced in 1887 as part of Duke brand cigarettes' Ocean and River Steamers series, this collectible cigarette card is now preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art. The image depicts the grand steamship sailing gracefully on both ocean and river waters, symbolizing its versatility as a reliable mode of transportation. The State Line flag proudly flutters atop its towering mast, representing the ship's affiliation with this esteemed company. A woman stands prominently on deck, embodying the spirit of progress and adventure that characterized America during this era. The lithograph's vivid colors bring to life every detail of this remarkable vessel - from its robust structure to the billowing smoke emerging from its chimney stacks. This artwork serves as a testament to W. Duke Sons & Co. 's commitment to producing high-quality cigarette cards that not only delighted collectors but also celebrated American heritage. As we gaze upon this historic scene, we are transported back in time to an age when steamships like the State of Indiana played a vital role in connecting people and goods across vast distances. It reminds us of America's industrial prowess and highlights how advancements in transportation revolutionized our nation. This print is not just a beautiful piece; it represents an important chapter in American history – one where innovation met opportunity on waterways traversed by these magnificent vessels.
