EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph print, titled "Henry Clay" is part of the iconic Great Americans series created for Duke brand cigarettes in 1888. The image showcases a distinguished portrait of Henry Clay, an influential American statesman and politician from the 19th century. With its vibrant colors and intricate details, this commercial color lithograph captures the essence of Clay's powerful presence. Henry Clay was a prominent figure in American politics during his time, known for his eloquence and leadership skills. This collectible cigarette card pays homage to his legacy as one of the country's most respected statesmen. The artist behind this masterpiece remains unknown but has skillfully depicted Clay with great accuracy. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this historic artwork offers a glimpse into America's past while highlighting the cultural significance of cigarette cards as collectibles in the late 19th century. It serves as a reminder that art can be found even in unexpected places like tobacco packaging. Although it is important to note that this print was originally intended for promotional purposes by W. Duke Sons & Co. , focusing on its artistic value allows us to appreciate it beyond its commercial origins. As we admire this stunning portrayal of Henry Clay, let us remember him not only as a political figure but also as an embodiment of American heritage and values.
