EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Holidays series (N80) for Duke brand cigarettes transports us back to 1890s France, capturing the essence of Bastille Day in all its glory. The image, a commercial color lithograph by George S. Harris & Sons, showcases the rich heritage and national pride associated with this significant date. In this chromolithograph masterpiece, we witness an allegorical figure representing Marianne, adorned in a striking national costume complete with a Phrygian cap - the iconic symbol of liberty. Her presence exudes strength and resilience as she stands tall against a backdrop of jubilant festivities. The vibrant colors bring to life the joyous atmosphere that envelops the country on this momentous occasion. French men and women don their finest clothes as they gather together to commemorate their history and honor their revolutionary past. The attention to detail is remarkable; every element meticulously rendered - from intricate headgear to flowing dresses - showcasing both artistic skill and historical accuracy. This collectible cigarette card serves not only as a testament to French culture but also as a visual time capsule transporting us back over a century ago. As we gaze upon this piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, it reminds us of the enduring spirit that unites nations in celebration. It invites us to reflect on our own traditions while appreciating those who have come before us – leaving an indelible mark on our shared human story.
