EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating 19th-century chromolithograph captures the majestic Steamship Trave, a proud vessel of the North German Lloyd Steamship Company. The image showcases the ship from a breathtaking perspective, as it sails gracefully through the vastness of the ocean. The rich colors and intricate details bring to life this iconic piece of American history. The Duke brand cigarettes commissioned this artwork as part of their Ocean and River Steamers series in 1887. This collectible cigarette card serves as a testament to both the industrial prowess of America during that time and its thriving shipping industry. In this scene, we see a bustling maritime setting with women prominently featured on deck, symbolizing progress and empowerment in an era when women's roles were rapidly evolving. The presence of flags adds an element of national pride, highlighting the United States' growing influence in global trade. As we gaze upon this lithograph housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are transported back to an age where steamships revolutionized transportation by connecting nations across vast distances. It is a reminder not only of our country's rich heritage but also how far we have come in terms of technological advancements. This print is more than just a commercial advertisement; it represents an era defined by exploration, innovation, and human ambition. It stands as a tribute to those who built these magnificent vessels and paved the way for modern-day water transport systems that continue to shape our world today.
