EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating chromolithograph print showcases the esteemed American statesman, Daniel Webster. Created in 1888 as part of the Great Americans series for Duke brand cigarettes, this collectible cigarette card is a testament to both artistry and historical significance. Daniel Webster's imposing presence dominates the composition, his piercing gaze capturing the essence of his political prowess. As one of America's most influential politicians and lawyers during the 19th century, Webster played a pivotal role in shaping the nation's history. The rich colors used in this commercial color lithograph bring life to Webster's portrait, emphasizing his strong character and unwavering dedication to public service. The attention to detail is remarkable; every line on his face tells a story of experience and wisdom gained through years of political battles. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece from W. Duke Sons & Company serves as a reminder of an era when cigarette cards were cherished collectibles rather than mere advertisements. It transports us back to a time when smoking was seen as sophisticated and glamorous. As we admire this image today, let us appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also reflect upon Daniel Webster's enduring legacy as an iconic figure in American politics. His contributions continue to shape our country even centuries later, making him truly deserving of being celebrated among Great Americans.
