Wild English Daisy - Daintiness, from the series Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers (N75) for Duke brand cigarettes, 1892
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This 19th-century print showcases the delicate beauty of a Wild English Daisy, symbolizing daintiness and grace. Part of the renowned series "Floral Beauties and Language of Flowers" this artwork was commissioned by the American Tobacco Company's Duke brand cigarettes. Created by Donaldson Brothers through commercial color lithography, this vibrant image captures the essence of Victorian femininity and elegance. The carefully crafted details highlight each petal's intricate patterns and soft hues, inviting viewers to appreciate nature's artistry. The Wild English Daisy holds deeper meaning beyond its aesthetic appeal. In the language of flowers, it represents purity and innocence—a timeless symbol that resonated with both men and women during this era. This cigarette card collectible served as more than just an advertisement; it became a cultural artifact reflecting societal values surrounding gender roles in industrial America. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this lithograph stands as a testament to James Buchanan Duke's legacy—the visionary behind W. Duke Sons & Co. , pioneers in tobacco manufacturing. It reminds us not only of our country's rich heritage but also offers insight into how art intersected with commerce during that time. Let this exquisite print transport you back to a bygone era when flowers spoke volumes about emotions unspoken—a reminder that even amidst industrial progress, nature's beauty continues to captivate hearts across generations.
