EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print from the late 19th century showcases John McKay, a renowned oarsman and sportsman of his time. The image is part of the "Worlds Champions" series by Allen & Ginter Cigarettes, created in 1887. In this portrait, McKay exudes strength and determination as he gazes away from the viewer with a sense of focus. With his impressive facial hair and moustache, McKay epitomizes the idealized male figure of that era. Dressed in sportswear befitting his profession, he stands as a symbol of athleticism and prowess on the water. The vibrant blue color palette adds to the visual appeal of this lithotint print. The attention to detail in this piece is remarkable - every stroke and line meticulously rendered through lithography techniques. The English text accompanying the image provides additional context about McKay's occupation as an oarsman or rower. Preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this trade card offers us a glimpse into both sporting history and printing techniques prevalent during that period. It serves as a testament to Allen & Ginter's commitment to showcasing notable individuals through their cigarette cards. As we admire this historic artifact today, let us appreciate John McKay's contribution to sportsmanship while acknowledging its significance within our cultural heritage.
