EDITORS COMMENTS
Tea Rose: Jealousy, a captivating print from the series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers (N75), created in 1892 by Donaldson Brothers for Duke brand cigarettes. This exquisite color lithograph showcases the delicate beauty of a tea rose, symbolizing jealousy according to the Victorian language of flowers. Intricately detailed, this commercial artwork was part of an advertising campaign by the American Tobacco Company, founded by James Buchanan Duke. The image reflects both the industrial prowess and artistic finesse prevalent in 19th century America. The vibrant colors and lifelike portrayal of the tea rose evoke a sense of nature's splendor. Its petals are meticulously rendered with lithography techniques, capturing every subtle shade and texture. The lithotint process employed adds depth and richness to this collectible cigarette card. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece is a testament to W. Duke Sons & Co. 's commitment to quality craftsmanship. It represents an era when tobacco companies utilized art as a means to captivate consumers' attention. Beyond its commercial purpose lies an exploration into human emotions - jealousy personified through floral symbolism. This print invites contemplation on our complex feelings while celebrating nature's elegance. As we admire this heritage artwork today, let us appreciate not only its aesthetic appeal but also its historical significance in shaping American industry and visual culture during the late 19th century.
