EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant 19th-century chromolithograph captures a whimsical scene from the Gymnastic Exercises series by an unknown artist. Entitled "Parallel Bar, Walking" this print was originally created as a promotional cigarette card for Duke brand cigarettes in 1887. The image showcases a female gymnast gracefully performing on parallel bars, dressed in traditional Victorian sportswear. The lithograph is bursting with color and intricate details, showcasing the fashion of the era. The gymnast dons a striped leotard and tights, complemented by stockings and underwear that were typical of women's attire during this time period. Her confident stride exudes strength and elegance as she navigates the parallel bars with precision. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, this artwork offers us a glimpse into both American history and popular culture of the late 19th century. It reflects society's fascination with physical exercise and athleticism during that era while also serving as an advertisement for Duke W Sons & Co. , one of America's prominent tobacco companies at the time. Preserved within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, this collectible print reminds us of our ever-evolving cultural landscape. It invites us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also to reflect on how advertising has shaped our perception throughout history.
