EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant chromolithograph captures the grandeur of the Steamship Oceanic, a magnificent vessel belonging to the Occidental and Oriental Line. Taken from the iconic Ocean and River Steamers series for Duke brand cigarettes in 1887, this print showcases America's booming shipping industry during the 19th century. The image portrays a bustling scene at sea, with billowing smokestacks and flags fluttering in the wind. The ship stands proudly against a backdrop of deep blue ocean waters, symbolizing its role as a vital mode of transportation for both people and goods. Intriguingly, amidst this industrial setting is a woman elegantly positioned on deck. Her presence adds an element of grace and femininity to an otherwise male-dominated environment. Perhaps she represents not only women who traveled aboard these steamships but also those who played crucial roles behind-the-scenes within the shipping industry. As we admire this collectible cigarette card now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, it serves as a reminder of America's rich maritime heritage. This lithograph encapsulates an era when steamships like the Oceanic were considered standard bearers in water transport. It invites us to imagine ourselves on board, experiencing firsthand the excitement and adventure that awaited passengers embarking on transatlantic journeys. Through this artwork by Unknown artist commissioned by W Duke Sons & Co. , we are transported back to a time when steamships ruled the waves and united states through their vast network of trade routes across oceans.
